regions, crystals drift together and form snowflakes while making their earthward Journey. Some flakes reach four Inches In diameter. Snowflakes are shaped by variations In temperature and humidity. The designs can be austerely simple or fantastically complex. Most take a symmetrical form. The ancient Chinese poet-scholar Han Ying observed; 'Most of the flowers have five petals, but only snow crystals have six.” Snow changes Its structure on touching the ground. The flakes of crystalline or semicrystalline ice usually transform themselves Into comparatively shapeless masses. On a clear, crisp day, the Jumbled ice crystals In newfallen sno.w produce a dazzling light. Acting as prisms, the crystals bend light to produce all the colors of the spectrum? Since the crystals are mixeu, the colored rays emergefrom many sides and directions.
