(Sorry, the "Obit" part was a slip of the mouse -- "BS" was what I meant, of course.)

Lovely site Becky.
Maybe we can figure out a way to mail you some snow and you can keep it in your Freezer! :)
Best Wishes, as always,

somewhere I have a cartoon series where one guy is catching snowflakes and looking at them, explaining to his friend, "no two snowflakes are ever alike...". He does a few more, tossing each one over his shoulder.........then suddenly gets this stunned look on his face, turns, and makes this frantic leap back toward where he discarded the last one in a pile of 77,219,418 more....

makes you think...

Many snow flakes are snow needles and do not have the 6 pointed structure. It seems to me that needles are more prevelent lately.
Pollution effects maybe?

Look at the physics section of the link at the top, Donuel.

The shape of snow flakes vary with temperature and humidity. Needles are typical for air at about -5 C, and about 200% humidity. Very pretty though.

refresh

I tried to make an ice cube spike, but no luck. I'll have to try a differently shaped container.

Thank you, Desert Dancer, for pointing out this site. I have just placed an order for three snowflake books. Our Christmas shopping is done.
