"They all start as a hexagonal crystal of ice and then spread out, forming delicate arms and enchantingly intricate patterns. It's long been known that different temperatures influence the patterns of ice crystal growth. Near -2 °C, they grow into small, flat discs. At -5 °C, they form slender columns and needles.
