‘This the season to be jolly, and hopefully you’ll get to experience a white Christmas this year (unless you live down South, where you’ll have a very sandy Christmas), whether that means ice, snow, or a combination of both.
In order for ice to freeze, it needs to just be the right temperature. It also has to be the perfect wind chill and humidity level. But when it happens, snow can form into a dazzlingly beautiful piece of artwork created by Mother Nature herself! Whether ice forms on berries, flowers, buildings, or even perfect circles of ice bubbles, it’s always a treat to step outside and witness the magic of how snow takes shape on various objects.
It’s also pretty darn magical to see just how snow and ice crystals look under an electron microscope. No one snowflake is exactly the same nor are any of these unique, naturally-formed ice and snow formations!
