Snowflakes spill from heaven’s hand
Beautiful and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winter’s evening.

Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each and every snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that’s spun afar.

Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night. – Linda A. Copp –

Snowflakes or frozen vapors are the composite kind of frozen ice crystals that fall by way of the Earth’s atmosphere. These symmetrical organic creations are created of ice, and can be understood as an individual snow crystal, or an amalgamation of some of them altogether, or larger aggregations of snow crystals falling on the earth. Simply theirs sizes and shapes vary and the transformation of their structure are developed with temperature effects and humid circumstances.

The evaporation procedure from the water sources on earth, the transpiration method from the plants and the respirations of humans send water vapor into the air. When they reach in the height, these water vapors abridge into the fragments of dust current in the air. They are further condensed into numerous tiny liquid drops, and each one of such drop consists of a single dust particle. In this way , it can be mentioned that a cloud is a massive compilation of these liquid droplets swinging in the air.

A single  snowflake is a hexagonal prism, meaning thereby it is generally shaped in six-fold ‘radial’ symmetry due to  the six fold crystalline structure of ice. Though most snowflakes are not utterly in symmetric kind.  The additional discoveries of  discovering identical snowflakes by photographing with microscope started in1885 by Wilson Alwyn Bentley and throughout his function he ascertained a lot of varieties of snowflakes that are known these days. The traditional use as a seasonal symbol by the Europeans and Americans is extremely common specially on the occasion of White Christmas.
