I became interested in snowflake formation in my early years of backcountry skiing because snowflake form as well as faceting processes in the snowpack and at it's surface are very important in snowpack stability. I originally read about this in the US Department of Agriculture's Avalanche Handbook 489, which was the original professional level avalanche book. This article provides an in depth look at the fascinating process of snowflake formation and diversity: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-formation-of-snow-crystals

Wow Gary, this is wonderful!
