In One Glance

Snow forms in cold clouds. Water vapor can freeze directly into ice crystals, which grow by collecting more water vapor. As crystals bump into each other, they can join into snowflakes. When the flakes fall, they remain snow if the air below is cold enough; otherwise they may melt into rain or sleet. The story emphasizes snow’s quiet beauty and explains the process in simple, bedtime-friendly language.
