I knew teh intarweb was good for something! Not only can you store recipes on it, you can [make snowflakes](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/), just like you did in the 2nd grade!! It even has safety scissors. [http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/) And they’ve even made it easy for you to share. Look at my snowflake [here](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/viewflake.php?id=734766). What are you _waiting_ for? ---

I thought this might be about a [fractal snowflake generator](http://a-i-studio.com/snowflake/). I recall seeing a snowflake simulator in an Egghead Software (remember those?) _years_ ago. It generated fractal snowflakes based on them “falling” through various temperature and humidity changes. Wish I had bought that. ---
