Letters from the sky

Every snowflake is unique. What each one looks like depends equally on chance, temperature and the route from the cloud to the ground. At the end of the 1950s, physicist and snow researcher Ukichiro Nakaya gave snowflakes the more poetic name of “Letters from the sky”.

Peter Dahmen, designer of our 2016 unique greeting card from Iggesund, visited Iggesund on a snowy day in November. A day when it literally poured down “letters from the sky”.
