Frission

''The once-frozen iceball is thawing. Large liquid oceans now surround landmasses as the heat of the artificial star, Grath, warms the icy world. Once forlorn, cold, and harsh, Frission is looking more and more inviting and habitable every passing day. The atmosphere has thickened, clouds dot the sky, and life has begun to take root. However, Frissions thaw is still incomplete, as frozen ice caps still extend all the way down to 45 degrees north and south of the equator. However, not all is calm. Warm, moist air from the thawed equator has begun to rise up high enough to interact with newly-formed jet streams driven by the temperature difference between equator and poles. The newly born jet streams carry this warm, saturated air closer and closer to the ice caps, until finally, it collides with the dry, frigid air of the ice caps. Nothing visible results from the initial interactions, since the newly-formed atmosphere is still relatively young and quiet. Meanwhile, more and more warm, moist air is pumped into the atmosphere to interact with the cold, dry polar air, and it is only a matter of time before something finally gives way.''
