If you enlarged a frozen water molecule about a billion times it would resemble the head of Mickey Mouse, the "head" being the oxygen atom, the "ears" being the two hydroen atoms.
Snowflakes that are created at:
- 32 to 27 degrees F are hexagonal plates
- 23 to 18 degrees F are hollow prismatic columns
- 18 to 10 degrees F are hexagonal again
- 10 to 3 degrees F fernlike stars (dendrites)
- -3 to -13 degrees F plates form
- -13 to -53 degrees F hollow prismatic columns
From time to time, similar snowflakes are found. They look to the eye to be the same, but upons closer examination, there will be slight differences. After all, snowflakes have about a billion billion molecules. If two wree ever identical, now that would be truly amazing!
