Everything you want to know about snowflakes from the unusual to the artificial to the ones that are just really pretty.

today i found out via this wikipedia entry on hapax legomena that, "Flother, a synonym for "snowflake", is a hapax legomenon of written English pre-1900 found in a manuscript from around 1275." pretty word, methinks.

Very pretty DeepFriedTwinkies and definitely a big thing here as yesterday snow fell in our area for the first time in twenty years. We woke up and found Narnia. It only lasted for a couple of hours but at least the local children got a chance to throw a few snowballs before it melted.

Very cool Tarrama. I live in Minnesota, (North Central) US, so it snows every winter here, which I love. However, it gets really cold too! Once in a while close to -40 degrees in the north of my state. Deepfriedtwinkies, awesome find. Those snowflakes are incredible.

I'm saving this one for winter. They're all beautiful, though.
