Nice job so far, some really good information on scattering in here! Below are a few pieces of feedback:

• Since the first and third sentences are both sort of referencing growth, it may be possible to combine them into one to start the paragraph.
• In the second sentence, make sure to add the citation via wikipedia to ensure it is at the end of the sentence and added to references. The sentence may be strengthened by rewording the part mentioning colors of snow and ice.
• In the fourth sentence, when you mention platforms, do you mean the snowflake surface?
• In the last sentence of the first paragraph, consider adding the word "of" after "The unique configuration".
• Based on what is discussed in the second paragraph, it could be added within the start of the first paragraph where collisions and growth are discussed.

The third paragraph has some cool information and I enjoyed reading the whole thing. Please let me know if you have any questions! Noah.hirshorn (talk) 20:27, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I would consider dropping the first sentence and jump straight into the explanation of color. Think you can add a link to the wikipedia page for the visible spectrum in the last sentence of the first paragraph. The latter could also be re-visited and improve flow. Otherwise I think you nailed it and gives a first good understanding on where snow lends its color. Joayer (talk) 01:29, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

A couple grammar edits I'd suggest:

• maybe remove the second comma in the second sentence
• "The unique configuration of multiple ice crystals within a single snowflake provides allows for multiple scattering interactions to occur. This results in all colors of the visible spectrum being reflected equally, thus producing its white appearance."
  • there's a lot of content in this sentence so maybe breaking it up would help the reader follow along. (Though my writing style has been described as a bit choppy, so edit it how you please)
