Months of dirty ice and slush crowding the sidewalk can blur the beauty of winter.
After each snowflake falls from the sky, it either melts into a slushy pond of floating trash or ices over into a deadly trap. But before you condemn all of winter, let this time-lapse serve as a brief reminder that snow isn't just an irksome mass collecting on your windshield.
The two-minute clip follows the creation of snowflakes as they emerge from barely discernible drops of water before branching out into beautiful ice crystals.
The stunning transformations are calming enough to suspend your winter hatred -- at least for a moment.
