50 Snowflake Quotes About Beautiful Falling Snow

If you have ever had the opportunity to watch snowflakes fall from the sky, you will love these Snowflake quotes.

Snowflakes are single ice crystals that fall through the Earth’s atmosphere as snow.

Although each snowflake is unique, there are eight classifications of snowflakes:

• Needle Crystal
• Columnar Crystal
• Plate Crystal
• Combination of columnar and plate crystals
• Columnar crystal with extended side planes
• Rimed crystal
• Irregular snow crystal
• Germ of snow crystal

The appearance of snowflakes as white is actually from the diffused reflection of the spectrum of light in the small crystals, as by itself, snow is clear.

Each snowflake has its own unique shape because it is formed due to the different humidity and temperature of the atmosphere as the snowflake falls.

Take a few minutes to read these snowflake quotes and you will be ready for winter!

How is a Snowflake Made?

An ice crystal nucleates high in the Earth’s atmosphere and grows as it falls.

The snowflakes attract supercooled cloud water, which then freezes into a crystal form.

As the snowflakes fall, they form complex shapes through the different temperature zones and emerge as the beautiful snowflakes we see falling from the sky.
