Abstract
The forms of snow crystals and flakes in various stages of melting can be observed with substantial fidelity after collecting the particles in subfreezing hexane. These forms are largely determined by minimum surface area considerations, which can lead to the breakup of some forms. The collection method might be useful in detailed studies of the radar bright band.
