If each one has a different shape than the other one, are they all unique, or does the fact that they're all unique make them all the same?

TL;DR: Fuckin' classification, how does it work?

(Yes, I am referring to actual snowflakes here.)

    Actually they aren't all unique. Their shape depends on where they formed, but you'll get snowflakes sharing shapes every now and then

    ^Beat me to it. The "all unique" thing is false and was proven so decades ago.

    ^^ Should have been obvious, really. I mean, come on, countless snowflakes have fallen and there are only so many different permutations of the pattern...
