Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things
Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.
that nsfw snow…

It’s not even November yet, dammit. “First snowfall that sticks long enough for me to put a footprint in it” is supposed to be November ~5th around here.
On the bright side, it’s supposed to be back up to double-digits Celsius tomorrow, so it won’t stick too much longer than needed to put a footprint in it.
