They are coming down like mad here this morning.  It makes me want to just sit and look out the window.  I have a passion for new fallen snow.

Loved your poem, nice thought, we all are as fragile as a snowflake too.

I love it, we are all different here on Blogit just like no two snow flakes

are alike. Ah, I love it, the snow, the poem and the blogit community.

Yes we are Pat and will eventually melt away and be forgotten. So let's make the most out of each frosty reception we receive at times, or think we feel when the cold wind of disapproval stirs our ambition. Have a  I feel warmer already.

I like your reflection on snowflakes! I am reminded of a 'technical' discussion of the subject, (the author's name has escaped me, and I'm not going to bother looking it up now) who had calculated the odds against two snowflakes being identical. His conclusion was that while it was not impossible, it was unlikely that two identical snowflakes had been produced since the very beginning, i.e. the first time it snowed after the Earth had cooled sufficiently, probably less than 3 billion years ago...
