Today we know that snowflakes begin their journey high in the atmosphere as tiny crystals of water vapour frozen around particles of matter. They grow, molecule by molecule, as they tumble through cloud and sky, sculpted by the pressures of wind, moisture and temperature. The elegant symmetry of snowflakes reflects the equal exposure of its six arms to consistent fluctuations in temperature and force for consistent periods of time. Because no two flakes follow exactly the same path, and for other reasons, the lore is true: no two snowflakes are exactly alike. Each is a singular work of art, its lifespan measured in moments as it grows, melts and changes on its journey.
