[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1445683, member: 4362"] I've read where its estimated that lightening can generate 10,000 tons of soluble nitrogen in one day. If you think of this soluble nitrogen as a pollutant wafting around in the atmosphere it disperses from the source like a pollutant only and floats around till its picked up by water and comes to the earth via rainfall or snow. Also, you know the sweet smell rain leaves in the air - and I think snow has its own smell to ....don't know much about snow ... but this is the fresh oxygen that has been freed from the bound insoluble nitrogen in the atmosphere so in other words that smell is letting you know this reaction has taken place. However, you can't smell the nitrogen but by smelling the oxygen or ozone you know the nitrogen has been freed. Sometimes more than at other times but I think on average we get about 15-20 lbs of N per inch or rain and I forget how many inches of snow is equal to an inch of rain. [/QUOTE]
