explanation[1]="Snowflakes form when water vapor (water in a gas form) freezes onto dust or pollen particles in the air, becoming ice crystals. More and more ice crystals freeze together and form snowflakes. Eventually, the snowflakes are too heavy and fall several thousand feet to the ground. As long as the air temperature stays at or below freezing all the way to Earth's surface, the snowflakes stay frozen and do not melt."
explanation[2]="Wilson 'Snowflake' Bentley was a farmer from Vermont who became fascinated by snowflakes in the mid-1800s. Bentley became the first person to take a photograph of an individual snowflake (or snow crystal) through a microscope, and took about 6,000 photographs of snowflakes during his lifetime."
explanation[3]="Scientists estimate that there are one trillion, trillion, trillion types of snowflakes! However, there are seven basic shapes that they take. Wilson 'Snowflake' Bentley, a snowflake photographer, was the first person to discover that no two snow crystals are exactly the same, though some may look similar. "
explanation[4]="Snow crystals form as hexagons, or six-sided shapes. However, they take on a variety of different forms depending on the air temperature and humidity in which they form."
explanation[5]="Mount Baker, in Washington State, is officially the snowiest place on earth in recorded history. It has received 1,140 inches (95 feet) of snow falling in one winter. This deep snow accumulation is due to an effect called La Ni�a, in which the Pacific Ocean is cooler than normal."
