A:Paris has a typical Western European oceanic climate (Köppen: "Cfb"), which is affected by the North Atlantic Current. The overall climate throughout the year is mild and moderately wet. Summer days are usually warm and pleasant with average temperatures between, and a fair amount of sunshine. Each year, however, there are a few days when the temperature rises above. Longer periods of more intense heat sometimes occur, such as the heat wave of 2003 when temperatures exceeded for weeks, reached on some days and rarely cooled down at night. Spring and autumn have, on average, mild days and fresh nights but are changing and unstable. Surprisingly warm or cool weather occurs frequently in both seasons. In winter, sunshine is scarce; days are cool, and nights are cold but generally above freezing with low temperatures around. Light night frosts are however quite common, but the temperature seldom dips below. Snow falls every year, but rarely stays on the ground. The city sometimes sees light snow or flurries with or without accumulation. B:Would it be very rare, almost unheard of, for Parisian children to wake up to a truly white Christmas, with snow on the ground as in story books? Answer: birth
A:The leaching of highly water soluble tannins from decaying vegetation and leaves along a stream may produce what is known as a blackwater river. Water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown color from dissolved peat tannins. The presence of tannins (or humic acid) in well water can make it smell bad or taste bitter, and can even make it unsafe to drink. B:Could someone who depends on well water near a bog comfortably rely on Kool-aid, Tang, or any similar product to mask the unpleasant taste of their drinking water? Answer: dental
A:The leaching of highly water soluble tannins from decaying vegetation and leaves along a stream may produce what is known as a blackwater river. Water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown color from dissolved peat tannins. The presence of large amounts of tannins (or humic acid) in well water can make it smell bad or taste bitter, and these effects can serve as a marker for other chemicals that often co-locate with humic acid and can render the water toxic for human consumption.

In winter, sunshine is scarce; days are and nights are cold with temperatures around freezing. Light night frosts are however quite common, but the temperature seldom dips much lower. Snow falls every year, and only very rarely does it melt on the ground the next day. The city sometimes sees light snow or flurries with or without accumulation. B:Given that Paris is roughly on the same latitude as Montreal, would a French-Canadian who vacationed in Paris for the winter be advised to pack the same boots that they would wear in the snow at home? Answer: birth
A:The leaching of highly water soluble tannins from decaying vegetation and leaves along a stream may produce what is known as a blackwater river. Water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown color from dissolved peat tannins. Tannins, also known as humic acid, can be found in well water, yet despite giving it a bitter taste and bad smell, they do not raise any safety concerns.
