 Let's Go Snowflake Watching If you live in a cold climate, then you can do more than just look at snowflake pictures. Go snowflake watching! It's easy. All it takes is a magnifying glass, a little patience, and some nice warm clothes. Then just wait for the "qanniq" - those crystal jewels - to fall out of the sky.
The best snowflakes seem to fall when you least expect it, so keep a small magnifier with a little square of black cardboard in your coat pocket - then you'll be ready.
