are barely different from each other. However, later in development, the snowflake grows and forms different shapes and crystal formations which makes each one unique.
For example, you can take many books and
rearrange them. The more books you have, the larger amount of different
combinations of books is presented. That’s also true with the ice crystals. The more ice crystals that are added to
the snowflake, the more possible combinations of different formations are made,
making an almost unthinkable number of combinations to make different
snowflakes. Scientists predict that there have never been two of the same
snowflakes in existence because of the innumerable different conditions such as
dust and other factors. So when someone says there are no two snowflakes that
are alike you can say yes there are but only in early stages of snowflake
development.
