Swirling White Dancers, Frozen in Time

First snowfall. In deepest silence, under the melancholic gloom of winter's sky, a billion tiny stars make their way to earth. Microscopic prisms, mysteries of crystalline similitude, these precious gems of ice blanket the world, obscure the sky, and ignite the imagination.

While each crystal is unique,snowitself is bountiful: an average snowfall sees about a million snow crystals for every 60 square centimeters of ground covered in 25 centimeters of snow. For part of the year, half of the Earth's land and ten percent of its oceans are covered in these dazzling flakes.
