cold crystals

Today is deemed special.

Why?

Today is the first snow of the year. By snow, I mean enough to actually stick and cover something.
The windshield of my car is covered, so I think that is enough.

Check out this website....http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/ it is all about snow.
There are some beautiful crystals displaying three-fold symmetry, as well as some unusual ones displaying two-fold symmetry and no symmetry at all.
This website also serves as a guide to the various forms. Have you seen a sectored plate or stellar dendrite lately?
God's creation certainly is beautiful!
