Bartholomew the Englishman

On Snow

Latin Etymology

Item, loca alta et montuosa nix frequentat, et diutius in montibus quam in vallibus perseverat, quia venti frigidi liberius in montibus quam in vallibus invalescunt. Insuper valles sunt montibus calidiores propter maiorem aggregationem et confractionem radiorum, et ideo nives in montibus plus abundant.

Item, nix vi caloris resoluta terram imbuit, remollit et inebriat, quam ante resolutionem frigiditatis suae coarctatione in sua superficie fortius indurabat, ut dicit Gregorius.
