The snow that fell last winter contained a LOT of water - so much that it completely removed drought conditions from the Flagstaff area. Every snowflake that participated in the winter snowfall had a unique, and interesting origin story. It became a beautiful snow crystal several millimeters wide somewhere high over Las Vegas, Nevada. Finally, our fully formed snow crystal grew large enough to become too heavy for the winds to keep it aloft. Each snowflake is a testament to the journey it had taken and the conditions it had encountered.
