More than 2-feet of snow have been dumped on Washington, and it's easy to forget that each flake is unique. But the pioneering work of one man makes it easy to remember. In 1885, Wilson Bentley began photographing snowflakes, managing to capture more than 5,000 of the tiny ice crystals before his death in 1931. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/02/08/snowstorm-vs-snowflake-pioneering-flake-photos-wilson-bentley"><b>More</b></a> (SnowFlakeBentley.com)
