i was wondering about Snowflakes during freefall have you ever seen a snowflake freefalling collide with another snowflake ? , it just seems to

never happen and i'm amazed by this

Of course they collide…during the warmer snows they cling together in huge clumps, saw clumps of snow as big as my hand one time at work in mid-October.

@cherokeepatti but did you see them collide becoming bigger flakes and i'm guessing not , you're just assuming they had collided but never saw it happen

@FurryFace I don’t stand outside all the time looking for two snowflakes to collide

Even water drops have sort of a repellent (tension) field. Snowflakes are just another form of water....

Ask why water forms beads (drops). It's that tension.

Exactly which 'snowflakes' are you referring to?
