Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun sets to music Mallarme's L'Apresmidi d'un Faune, a symbolist poem replete with a striking vagueness, fluidity and sense of reverie.

Each flake, she explains, is in fact clusters of crystals that become stuck together as they fall. She tells how the crystals themselves form, and how snow changes once it falls. It is useful information, especially for skiers, who should wax their boards differently for different types...
