earlier this Fall in October, I was back home when Ohio got it's first snowfall. Standing out in it, I was astonished that I could actually see the crystal formations...they were large feathery flakes (Dendrite snow crystals, I now know thanks to the link that DeSwiss provided downthread) and they were gleaming and sparkling, perched on the bushes, grass, and leaves, everywhere I looked. Went in to get my glasses on and found a magnifying glass then spent a goodly amount of time outdoors, oohing and aahing at the wonder of those delicate tiny things. It was enchanting and brought me out of a funk I'd been struggling with for weeks.
Being practically blind as a bat, I still cannot get over seeing the structure of those snowflakes that night! I only wish I'd had a camera, the glimmering alone would have probably shown up, itsy diamond points of shimmering snowfall.
