The smell of ice
    #7753239 - 12/13/07 11:21 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Why does ice have a smell?  You know when you walk outside in the winter and you get that fresh, clean smell?  I wonder what causes it?  It seems like ice shouldn't smell like anything?? :wtf:

It must be a government conspiracy...

I was always under the assumption that it was ionized particles in the air that give that crisp smell after snow and ice.

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

i was thinking the exact same thing this morning... like 30 mins ago..

mine was more like 'why does cold have a smell?'

always smells kinda smoky to me. maybe it's because when it's cold people have fires.. cant really make a conclusion about it because there are underlying variables :P (fckin' stat class)

I'm not sure what causes it.

It could be that the freezing precip has pulled something down from the upper atmosphere. Or it might be that it removed something from the lower. :shrug:

What causes the ionization? Assuming there has been no lightning or anything. I don't know much about fizzicks

Or perhaps, it is just smog particles trapped in the frozen water.
