Are they ALL reallly different - beliefs have changed over time!

The news is so filled with the snow accumulations across the northern US, that I was inspired to carve some flake variations.

The flake above is actually pretty small - only 2" X 2".  The flake below is double in diameter!

I think Miss Baker would love this type of visual snowflake study!  Since my elementary school days, many books have been published to capture beautiful snowflake variations in great detail.  The adult coloring book craze that is so popular now also includes entire workbook-size line drawings of single, layered and patterned multiples of snowflakes for your coloring pleasure.

As is often the case with snowflakes 'in the wild,' this flake is a mutant.  Use your visual analysis skills to see if you can spot the mutation!
