Abstract
It was observed that antennae were electrified during heavy snowfalls and that their potential reached to several thousands of volts at Mt. Teine. The electrification of the antennae was observed also during rainfalls at Sapporo. From further observations and experiments, it was concluded that the falling snow particles or rain drops play the part of an ion collector.
