Or wait, is it too late to make that gazpacho? I should have got the gazpacho. Maybe as a side? Drat, he’s halfway to the kitchen now and I’m really hankering for gazpacho.
Researchers studying areas of eastern Antarctica where snow is often stripped off the surface by wind, recently found that the powerful gusts are actually vaporizing massive amounts of snow, rather than blowing and redistributing it elsewhere. That’s an estimated 80 billion tons of snow per year that is being removed from the continent altogether.
Antarctica is cold, but it’s a DRY cold. On the coasts, there’s under an inch of precipitation per year, and even less inland. Technically, it’s a desert.

I’m a freak who likes burnt meat. I like my hamburgers cooked medium well.

The snow eventually packs into glaciers, and pieces of the glaciers eventually slide off the land into the sea, becoming icebergs.
All that was pre-climate-change, of course. Now both snow and glaciers are melting.

At least it’s not a “…like my women” gag.
