Can you paint in snow flakes on outdoor metal furniture?
If it is possible then what paint is recommended in this condition?

[halliday]

Id recommend using lead paint.

The guy who figured out snowflakes is Wilson Bentley.
The Snowflake Bentley Chairlift at Bolton Valley (VT) is named after this savant, whose hometown (Jericho) is only down the road a piece.

In 1635, the shape of snowflakes became interested in the French philosopher, mathematician and naturalist Rene Descartes, who wrote a treatise "Experiment on Meteors". Descartes first found and described a rather rare twelve-pointed snowflake. It is still unclear under what conditions it is formed.
Although we think of snow as "pure," most snowflakes are actually formed around small particles of soil lifted upward by the wind

It's really very beautiful.
