If that kind of crystal is allowed some further growth, it will sprout
hexagonal patterns of the end-plates of the reel. This sometimes

Those are extremely hard to photograph properly because usually
there's not enough DOF to get both sets of arms in focus at the same

Yes, that's a great one. I'll bet Mark is shooting flakes today. We're getting light, hard frozen snow, and with cold air temps the crystals won't bunch.
I wonder how he's doing. We haven't heard from him in a while.
