The water doesn't evaporate.
It sublimates. The hot liquid water breaks up into ice crystals and then much of that goes directly into a gas state. That part which doesn't falls as snow.
It's almost the same thing that happens when you hang wet clothes out in winter. They freeze, and then they dry as the ice goes from a solid directly to a gas without passing thru the water state.
Sublimation.
Neat huh?

With regard to George I of Great Britain and Sophia Dorothea: I couldn't really tell which was which. It's the hair. Could someone please clarify?

I think the entire "Global Warming caused by Man" thing should be added to the list.
The Earth has been warming and cooling regularly over it's entire life history. Change is the only constant. I'm glad we are in a warming trend now, because in the last ice age, the area I live in was deeply covered by glaciers. That would have made it difficult for me to get to and from work each day. :)
