Just a bit of snow.....

Good day from snowy Henfield, UK!!

 I saw these amazing pictures on http://zachmedler.blogspot.co.uk/

 They are beautiful close-ups of snowflakes, taken by an electron microscope cooled to -170C!!

 And makes you look at the snow today a little bit differently......

    Wow, these look nothing like H2O, more plastic in form than anything. Amazing stuff.

    Amazing photos, thank you for sharing them. The snow looks like pressed metal sculptures at that magnification. Wonderful!
