...especially when you realize that each snowflake is unique...ever since the first snowflake formed millions of years ago.It's one of those things that when I see it the first time every year, it is like magic. Some people hate me when I say stuff like that but snow is unique and can be breathtakingly beautiful.Maybe this is the year we get snow, again!
When I lived in Virginia.....the snow there seem to come down in big snowflakes.....you could catch them on your coat and actually see the design.....then when we lived in New Hampshire, it just seemed like it was like crunched/shaved ice....like an Icee.....Has anybody else noticed that?
Depends on the type of storm. I live at the 7,000 footish elevation in the Sierra Nevada mountains and we can get incredible powder. This storm we just had was wet and very cold so the ice crystals were small and hard. When it is a little warmer we can get huge flakes though. Those are fun!
