Fascinating! Do we know whether snowflakes from the same storm will be shaped very similarly? Or is there disparity within it, too?

- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoGoes along with what another poster asked about symmetry. Two snowflakes right next to each other in the same storm aren’t identical, and there’s no reason to say that they should be. Why would a single flake have symmetry to itself? Is it just getting down in such a small scale that the molecular bonds of the water can only make so many different angles?
