Snowflake ^Investors

Snowflakes have characteristic shapes because they consist of water molecules, which have a bent shape. A snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved a sufficient size, and may have amalgamated with others, which falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow. Most snowflakes are flat crystals that have six sides, resembling lacy hexagons. The main factor affecting snowflake shape is temperature, which determines the shape of a crystal as it forms and also changes that shape as it melts.
