Snowflakes photographed by new high speed camera

The video explores the history and science of snowflake photography, starting with Wilson Bentley's pioneering work in the 1880s. It contrasts Bentley's idealized images with the more varied results of German meteorologists. In modern times, engineers have developed advanced technology to capture snowflakes in their natural state, providing valuable data for weather prediction. The video also explains the formation of snowflakes and their impact on road conditions, highlighting the importance of accurate weather forecasting.
