When you’re blasted with snowstorm after snowstorm, it’s hard to appreciate how beautiful snow really is. With blizzards bearing down on different parts of the country, millions of people are probably tired of looking at the neverending white stuff, let alone reading about it. But maybe these photos will change their minds, just a little bit.

Michael Peres is a photography professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology and likes posting stunning photos of snowflakes that show their delicate intricacy.
