Pictured: The stunning snowflakes that look like diamonds in the sky
As snow blizzards sweep across the country many want are eager to see the back of this Arctic winter.
But scientist Kenneth Libbrecht is excited by the prospect of sub zero temperatures, snow blizzards and arctic winds.
Using a specially designed photo-microscope the Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology, has spent the last 11 years catching and photographing tiny snowflakes.

Showcased in his latest book, "Snowflakes" these amazingly detailed images show the unique crystal formation of snowflakes.
'When I first began toying with the idea of writing a book about snowflakes, I found that there weren't any really nice pictures out there,' the 50-year-old said.
'The state-of-the-art in snowflake photography was not what it could have been.
'This was an opportunity, so I set out to design and build a photo-microscope that was optimised for taking pictures of snowflakes.'
