snowflakes

snowflakes, aren't they just wonderful stuff? they are actually rain in the form of snow. and they feel much lighter than rain. i still remember the times we played with snow, and snow falling on my face. i reached out my tongue to let the snow fall on my tongue as i wanted to taste it. snow is the most awesome thing GOD has ever created :)

EACH SNOWFLAKE IS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL ON IT'S OWN. each snowflake has a different design. once the snowflake has melted, the design is lost FOREVER. ytd newspaper had an article on snowflakes. and they showed the snowflake which has been kept for quite a long while. they had to zoom in to see the design of the snowflake, and it's marvellous. just simply fantastic
(fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, elastic, elastic, elastic, elastic! RING DING DONG ring ding dong ring dingyy ding ding ring ding ding ding ;D )

god spoke to me about snowflakes after seeing that article. he told me that all of us are like snowflakes. we may all look the same on the outside, but different on the inside. like i said, snowflakes are all different and they are unique and special on it's own inside. so, we are all like snowflakes, special in god's eyes. to the world, we all look the same (exterior) but in god's eyes, we are unique (interior).

and, ever wondered how to keep a snowflake design for decades? searched and google and here's how they do it :
Here's how to save a snow flake, with super glue - " Ever wanted to catch a snowflake and keep it forever? You can. This is a photograph of a snowflake that fell in January 1979, but it isn't a 27-year-old photo. It is a recent shot of a snowflake that's been sitting in chemist Tryggvi Emilsson's desk for 27 years, locked in a drop of that miracle of modern chemistry we call superglue. "

lol right? didn't even think of it. next time if have the chance to go winter country again i'll try ^^ if i had knew this earlier, i would've tried it in hokkaido! so much snow falling! :D I LOVE SNOW SNOW SNOW AND WINTER! :D
decided to call my future child (if have one) dong tian :) for chinese name haha.

anyways, went to find some snowflake design pics. enjoy!









okay, this last one here is the one mentioned in the superglue thingy when i searched on google :)



about snowflakes :
Snowflakes are conglomerations of frozen ice crystals which fall through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as snow crystals which develop when microscopic supercooled cloud droplets freeze. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity regimes. Individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure. Types which fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are known as graupel, with ice pellets and snow grains as examples of graupel.
It is next to impossible that two snowflakes are exactly alike due to the roughly 1018 water molecules which make up a snowflake,[14] which grow at different rates and in different patterns depending on the changing temperature and humidity within the atmosphere that the snowflake falls through on its way to the ground united.
The snowflake is often a traditional seasonal image/motif used around the Christmas period, especially in Europe, representing the traditional White Christmas.
Snowflakes are also often used as symbols representing winter or cold conditions. For example, tires which enhance traction during harsh winter driving conditions are labelled with a snowflake on the mountain symbol.[18] A snowflake was the symbol of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.[19]
