“The thin snow now driving from the north and lodging on my coat consists of those beautiful star crystals, not cottony and chubby spokes as on the 13th of December, but thin and partly transparent crystals. They are about one tenth of an inch in diameter, perfect little wheels with six spokes, without a tire, or rather with six perfect little leaflets, fern-like, with a distinct, straight, slender, midrib, raying from the centre. On each side of each midrib there is a transparent, thin blade with a crenate edge. How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated! I should hardly admire more, if real stars fell and lodged on my coat. Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity, so that not a snow-flake escapes its fashioning hand.”
Henry David Thoreau, The Journal (Walden)

You know, while I can appreciate the diversity of each and every snowflake, right now, the last thing I want to see again is snow........
When and for real????
It already did. The first time in 112 years. The pic you see is Cairo getting snowed on.
Snow closes roads in Israel, is a source of wonder in Cairo [First in 100 Years!]
