Plate Snowflake
Type: Hexagonal Plate Formation Conditions: Forms at both just below freezing, 0°C to -2°C, and colder temperatures, -10°C to -12°C, at lower humidity levels.
Dendrite Snowflake
Type: Stellar Dendrite Formation Conditions: These snowflakes form at colder temperatures and high humidity, usually between -15°C to -20°C.
