Snowflake Bentley with Tom Alena

Saturday, January 24, 2026

Snowflake Bentley – The complexity and beauty of a single snow crystal was first captured on film by Wilson Bently, a farmer from Vermont. His story captures the dedication and perseverance of science-minded people.

Bentley’s collection of photographs still inspires and creates new generations of snowflake photographers. In this program, we’ll look at some of his work and show how anyone can photograph snow crystals using Smart Phone technology. We’ll dive into the science behind the beautiful shapes we see and what they tell us about the atmospheric conditions above. Join us in the warm Cedar Room on this mid-winter day and discover the beauty of snow! 2:00 p.m., A. B. Ceder Room, Members: $10.00, Non-Members: $20.00, Pre-registration is required.
