Good morning on this frosty Friday.

Brrrrrr-eaking news, New York: You’re waking up to a lovely white blanket of snow.

This sprinkling does, however, mean we’re in for a nippy day. With the wind, it’ll feel like the low 20s out there.

The silver lining: The colder it gets, the more beautiful our snowflakes can be.

Snowflakes reflect their temperature, explained Kenneth G. Libbrecht, a physicist — and snowflake expert — at the California Institute of Technology.

A snowflake’s sweet spot — when they’re fluffiest, longest-lasting and easiest to see — is at temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees, he said. That’s when you get stellar dendrites, the large, star-shaped crystals prevalent in holiday movies.
