Marcus Sedgwick鈥檚 meditation on snow looks at snowflakes and the phenomenon of 'diamond dust'. Read by Jonathan Firth.
Of all weathers, snow is the one that has always affected the author Marcus Sedgwick the most.
Five years ago, he and his partner bought a mountain house, an old chalet d鈥檃lpage high in the Haute Savoie of eastern France.
In this episode, Marcus considers the science of snow and what 'makes' a snowflake and the phenomenon of 'diamond dust'.
He also remembers the snowy winters of his childhood in Kent and the infamous cold of 1963.
