These pictures show real snow crystals that fell to earth in Northern Ontario, Alaska, Vermont, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. They were captured by Kenneth G. Libbrecht using a specially designed snowflake photomicroscope.

USATODAY.com Latest News ... Temperature, humidity shape snow crystals ... As snow crystals form they take on a six-sided, or hexagonal shape, but with what seems like an infinite number of variations of being six sided. The temperature at which a crystal forms, and to less extent the humidity of the air, determine the basic shape.

The probability that two snow crystals will be exactly alike, in molecular structure and in appearance, is very minute. And to prove otherwise would not be easy. Each winter there are about 1 septillion (1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 or a trillion trillion) snow crystals that drop from the sky!
