Most snow crystals—as he knew, and kept quiet about—are nothing like our stellar flower: they’re irregular, bluntly geometric. They are as plain and as misshapen as, well, people. The Fifth Avenue snowflakes are the rare ones, long and lovely, the movie stars and supermodels, the Alessandra Ambrosios of snow crystals. The discarded snowflakes look more like Serras and Duchamps; they’re as asymmetrical as Adolph Gottliebs, and as jagged as Clyfford Stills."

Thanks for the link! I am from Russia and since childhood have been observing snowflakes. when it is really cold one can find perfect snowflakes on their mittens. Fresh from the sky. If it is warmer, snowflakes fall in smushed mess.
