todays star flakes

[spittywillow]

falling stars this morning

never seen anything like it in my life snowflakes are usually distorted shapes but myself and two co-workers were amazed at what we saw falling from the sky

couldn't not take photos and thought to share them and ask has anyone ever seen these detailed flakes before?

just beautiful!

I too have never looked at snowflakes before and didn't realise there were so many different types. Here is a link to some different and beautiful examples.
