"The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meterologists."

Or, so says an unknown philosopher.

Bluffton awoke to one of the rare true snowfalls of the season this morning. It first delayed and then closed area schools.

Fred Steiner, Icon photographer, offers these glimpses of the snow effects in early morning.

Watch the Icon for additional snow scene photos throughout the day.
