The cold snaps across the United States seem endless, but with each new snowfall, there's an opportunity to capture a new perspective on winter, just like what Jeffrey Goodman did when he photographed this snowflake outside his Mentor, Ohio, home. 
The Ohio teacher enjoys taking photos of the wintry weather. 
Throughout January, Goodman photographed snowflakes after snowstorms would come through his area. 
Goodman used his iPhone 5s and a macrolens attachment to photograph these delicate snowflakes. 
"It has been an extremely cold winter this year with many days being in the single digits or below zero temperature range," Goodman said. 
"Most people grumble and complain about the cold and snow here in northeast Ohio," Goodman said. 
"But I've discovered that if you take the time to look close enough, the designs and patterns in these snowflakes can warm hearts," he added. 
"These were all taken in the last few weeks during the many snow storms that have blown through northeast Ohio this January," Goodman said. 
One of Goodman's favorite parts about winter is having the chance to dive into some winter nature photography. 
"It's been awe-inspiring to find such beauty in the tiny details that mother nature can produce in the midst of an arctic invasion," Goodman said. 
Nature photographer Candice Trimble spent one morning photographing snowflakes falling in her hometown of Front Royal, Virginia. 
"The flakes melt fast when they hit any warmth so I had to move quickly," she explained. 
"I have exactly 45 inches of hair, so luckily I had enough to literally lay out in front of me to catch snowflakes," Trimble said. 
" I love all of my snowflake pictures," she said. 
It snowed about 10 inches in her hometown when Trimble took these photos.
