Nato Unravelled

Hi Basil. I'm sure you're right . But still, none of my scouts has ever encountered snow. So I suggest the following explanations:

- The polar ice cap is actually located in vast caverns beneath the surface of Planet. When the temperature rises, it melts and flows into the seas. This ice and snow is not visible on the map - and snow never falls on Chiron so a visible ice cap never appears.

alternatively ....

- Chiron snow is transparent. Or invisible. Or pink.

Either way, there's no White Christmas on Chiron

Given that Chiron's climate is roughly similar to the Earth's, and that the oceans are water, there should almost certainly be snow in some places...
