Snowball was born in the late fall of 1976 soley to entertain the kids of the author, Keith Gonyea. After the kids had heard the story for a couple of Christmas seasons it was relegated to a box of “Keiths Stuff” and put in the basement. The story speaks for itself and there was really never an intent to publish Snowball. It sat there for about 30 years until Keiths daughter, Michelle, asked if he still had a copy of Snowball. Keith searched for a couple days but could not come up with the elusive box of “Keiths Stuff” so he dusted off the grey matter and rewrote the story totally from memory. The story of Snowball was written entirely to entertain kids and those who remain kids at heart. There certainly are no claims that it is great literature for the ages...some will like it, some will tolerate it, and some will despise it. It is intended to entertain and hopefully generate that most beautiful thing...a smile on the face of an innocent child.

This is the story of Daisy Snowball, a young beautiful heroin of the American West. At 16 years old, she's Snow White, Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane all rolled into one. She's beautiful and mild on the outside but inside, she's a tough, powerful, gun-slinging gal of the West.
Frannie Fireball and Sally Snowball is a cartoon book for children eight and below about two sisters—one made of fire, the other made of snow, who symbolize the hot and cold weather. The book begins with them trying to befriend some children, with hilarious results. The rest of the book tells the two sisters story with very funny incidents.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In sociology and statistics research, snowball sampling is a technique for developing a research sample where existing study subjects recruit future subjects from among their acquaintances. Thus the sample group appears to grow like a rolling snowball. As the sample builds up, enough data is gathered to be useful for research. This sampling technique is often used in hidden populations which are difficult for researchers to access; example populations would be drug users or prostitutes. As sample members are not selected from a sampling frame, snowball samples are subject to numerous biases. For example, people who have many friends are more likely to be recruited into the sample.

a collaborative project by Peter Bonde & Jason Rhoades
This year, for the first time in the history of the Venice Biennale, representatives from two different countries will collaborate to create a common cultural and artistic space: the American artist Jason Rhoades and the Danish artist Peter Bonde will show a joint project, Snowball, at the Danish Pavilion. In this multi-media installation, the artists will transform the pavilion into a stock car course with American stock cars, sound effects, and film projections. This catalogue documents their historic collaboration.

The continuity of life evolution over 3.5 billion years has been attributed to Earth's ability to maintain a habitable climate. However, the Neoproterozoic era was interrupted by multiple Snowball Earth episodes when the silicate weathering thermostat broke down and global-scale glaciations ensued. It remains a major challenge to explain how life has survived these severe glaciations, which depends critically on the surface temperature. The work presented in this thesis contains a series of modeling endeavors dedicated to advancing our understanding of the temperature history during the Snowball Earth events. With an energy balance model, we demonstrate that the critical phase for life is the early stage of Snowball, when surface temperature has plunged after the initiation. Using the FOAM GCM specially modified for the Snowball climate, we investigate the peculiar hydrological cycle of a Snowball state. With an idealized ice shell model, we study how the global-scale ice flow may act as a dust conveyor belt and escalate dust accumulation in the tropical ablation zone. We then explore the stability of the dusty Snowball state in a coupled atmosphere-ice-dust model. We propose a dust thermostat mechanism based on the coupled model simulations of the dusty ice scenario, which suggests that the Snowball Earth might have been much warmer than previously thought.
