I never knew snow rises before falling. Very interesting. And there are no two snowflakes which are alike. Those are actual magnified photos of snowflakes.

I never knew snow rises before falling.

This is from "You're a good man, Charlie Brown." (I love the soundtrack, never got to see it live though)

Lucy- and way up there! the little stars and planets, make the rain.
that falls in showers... and when it's cold, and winter is upon us...
the snow comes up, just like the flowers!

Charlie Brown- Now lucy i know that's wrong! Snow doesn't come up, it comes down! ...

Lucy- after it comes up, the wind blows it around so it LOOKS like
it's comming down, but actually it comes up out of the ground like
grass. It comes up Charlie Brown snow COMES UP!!!

Charlie Brown- Oh good grief!!!

Nice clip!!
