Default Snowflakes?

Looks like everyone avoided the original question. Why are snowflakes
created when they should just form a pellet?



Possibly that was because everyone wondered why they 'should' form a
pellet. Surely the solid form of water should form crystals, as solids
tend to do and that, I think, is the composition of snow flakes (as we
decide to call them).
