The video tracks formation of snowflakes from their origins in bits of dust in clouds that become droplets of water falling to Earth.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Cool video! For me it's more about what you do with the snow once it's on the ground...

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

The other night I watched a Top Gear episode I had recorded from earlier in the year and the punishment Jeremy inflicted on James for losing a race was to eat "yellow snow"...I wonder if he was nice enough to put that down instead?!

The Olympic special filmed in Norway! My favorite part is the mini going down the ski jump.

Did you happen to catch the credits at the end?

Hmmm, I didn't catch the credits at the end. Wonder if I still have the episode saved...

The mini going down the jump was awesome, the kids and I kept laughing at James trying to paint the line on the jump and sliding down instead. :)
