Snapping snowflakes under a microscope has become more than a winter hobby for New York Professor Michael Peres. It has become a scientific art form. For more than a decade, Peres has been taking photos in his garage in sub-zero temperatures. What started as a suggestion from one of his photography students at the Rochester Institute of Technology turned into an incredible collection of images, as seen above.

“Photographing snowflakes must be accomplished at temperatures that are below freezing and be performed outdoors or in unheated structures,” Peres said in an interview with Weather.com. “To photograph snowflakes, all equipment must also be kept below freezing, which is necessary to preserve the ice crystal as long as possible.”

Easy…

If you could access even a miniscule part of what you forgot before you chose to join your Earth-plane existence, you would marvel at how everything is so easy. The knowledge exists in your heart, ask The Universe for the remembering. ~ Creator

Big Story Weather from March 5: The strong storm made its way through the Great Lakes bringing very heavy snowfall to places like Chicago. High pressure over the Rockies brought a nice day to the region, while another area of low pressure made its way towards the West Coast.

Weather Outlook for March 6: The storm everyone has been waiting for is finally pulling into the Mid-Atlantic region and has begun to impact cities like Baltimore and Washington DC with heavy rain, sleet and snow with accumulations likely for both cities. High pressure will slide into the Southern Plains bringing partly cloudy skies to the region. A new frontal boundary will begin to work its way on shore over the Pacific Northwest. Below is the weather for a few select cities this afternoon.

Heavy snow can build up on tree branches and cause them to snap. When those branches hang over power lines, the result can be a loss of electricty. Photo by Julia Freeman-Woolpert
