"I-it, just, well," How does Idia even start on this? "It just seems... strange that snow can even maintain this kind of form considering how snow is created and what shapes it comes in back home. It may seem snow normally sticks together, but it's really just melting and changing, not forming together like it does here into those... strands." Though... he supposes it could be melting at a level that's not noticeable to the eye. He would really have to study it more...

But in the end Idia doesn't care. Sure, the scientist in him is curious, but it's not going to help in in the long run. It's not like they were staying on this planet, so why should he bother to study it's environment? "It seems closer to icing than snow as it accumulates... maybe it's just so cold here it's changing it's structural state before it lands, considering it's in darkness for such a long time." That last part is mostly for himself, trying to puzzle it out.
