    		All snowflakes have one thing in common. They are all six-sided crystals of ice. They can be found in seven different shapes - prismatic column, hexagonal plate, cup, hexagonal column, needle, flat plate or dendrite. There is actually an International Snow Classification System that scientists use to observe the large variety of snowflakes. People always say that no two snowflakes are alike. Considering the fact that the average snowflake contains 1018 molecules of water (that's 10 x 10 x 10, using eighteen 10's!), the number of combinations possible is pretty big to say the least.
