I'll try to process more snowflake photos from previous winters till the next season. There is lots of nice crystals waiting processing!

This is quite big fernlike dendrite snowflake, around 6 millimeters from tip to tip. This crystal have good symmetry and interesting wavy "leaves", which reminds me shape of oak tree leaves.
