I thought it would be a nice change of pace to throw out a random snowflake fact. ;)
Snowflake Fact
Amazingly, snowflakes always have six sides and similar to the human
fingerprint, it is thought that no two snowflakes are ever exactly the
same. Both the form and shape of a snowflake depends on the temperature
and moisture content of the cloud. Snowflakes can be categorized into
six main types, plate (flat), column, stars, dendrite (lacy, needle, and
capped column. When it is extremely cold the snow is very fine and
powdery and snowflakes become quite simple in design, usually needle or
rod shaped. When the temperature is near to freezing point (0 degrees
Celsius), snowflakes become much larger and a lot more complex in
design, for example, a star.
It's already late in the season (for Chicago) and we still haven't received a decent amount of snow yet. I keep my fingers crossed that that will change soon. Yes, I am crazy, but I adore the snow!
