snowflakes are groups of 2 frozen ice crystals stuck together which fall through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as two snow crystals which develop when microscopic supercooled cloud droplets freeze.

Now, now. Play nice.
OP, I agree. Snow is beautiful.
Sounds like you had some sort of revelation.

Snow is beautiful, if you are somewhere warm to look out at it. However, if you are trapped in it, it becomes cold, un-daunting, and unforgiving. It's beauty changes into something ugly, and dangerous. It can freeze anything, including you. If there is a blizzard, it can strand you where you are for days. It can keep provisions from reaching where they need to be. It's powerful stuff.
Sometimes I think we find beauty in the dangerous, and in doing so, we forget it's dangers. Beauty is seductive. Beauty is evil, if for no other reason than it blinds. Be wary of beauty, especially of the elements.
A single snowflake is one of the most beautiful things in nature. It's when they get together and gang up on us that they show their true vicious nature.
