There are so many different types of snowflakes.. Whats your favorite?
If you look closely at falling snow, you can see a great many different crystal shapes. There's a lot more to see than you might think!


Simple Prisms
A hexagonal prism is the most basic snow crystal geometry (see the Snowflake Primer). Depending on how fast the different facets grow, snow crystal prisms can appear as thin hexagonal plates, slender hexagonal columns (shaped a lot like wooden pencils), or anything in between. Simple prisms are usually so small they can barely be seen with the naked eye.

Stellar Plates
These common snowflakes are thin, plate-like crystals with six broad arms that form a star-like shape. Their faces are often decorated with amazingly elaborate and symmetrical markings.

Is there a limit to the number of shapes?

I want some snow, too! When we were little, in Ohio, we used to catch snowflakes on our mittens to look at them. I bought a book last year for my daughter, the weathertard, with photos of all different types of snowflakes. It told about the process to photograph them. It's really interesting, sorry I don't remember the name.

Yeah, it's 80 here in Texas...It's switched up from 19 degrees at night to high-70's during the day.

The last three years we've got severe ice-storms in February-March, so maybe we get some then.

The ones that fall somewhere other than on my driveway.

They really are pretty though, as kids we used to study them and always loved the frost patterns on the windows.

Mother Nature is sure an incredible artist.

The funny thing in that video is that they are pretending to explain scientifically and sell the reason why those snowflakes have such as perfect shapes but its not.
