Vicarious snow

Despite major winter storms around the country, Philadelphia has yet to see any accumulation, and has had strange bursts of spring-like weather intermittantly all winter so far. Of course, we may get a dump any day now, but until then I offer this great service: catch glimpses of individual snowflakes as photographed by amateur scientist and Vermont legend Wilson A. Bentley.
