Snow is made up of trillions of tiny ice crystals to make snowflakes, with not one alike. Here's how they form.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Even though most of North Dakota has seen less snowfall than normal so far this winter, the science behind snow formation is fascinating. Snowflakes form when a drop of ...
