    ...no two snowflakes were the same?

    Seems we're special.

    They only look the same. The fact is that they use different pixels for each snowflake.

    I for one feel that the script should be rewritten to incorporate an array of unique snowflakes to last all winter, to ensure that it's properly realistic

    Someone else will have to do it, tho', 'cos I'm already busy coding boring stuff.

    I don't write code, but I find it ironic that introducing the desired randomness to the process is so time-consuming.

    Throw it into a large box, give it a good shake, and dump it out.

    Should be sufficient.
