Fast Flakes Colorado climatologist Nolan Doeskin reports that
snowflakes seldom drift slowly to the ground. A rimed crystal is a
snowflake that has collected particles of supercooled water and can
fall at rates of 15 kilometers an hour compared to a normal
snowflake that falls to the ground at approximately 2 kilometers an
hour. A rimed crystal is not the same as sleet or hail, but rather
like a solid pellet of ice with a streamlined solid crust. Dr.
Doeskin times the falling of the crystals by photographing them and
factoring in the wind conditions.
