We don’t. There’s no reason there can’t be two identical snowflakes.

What we do know is that the process of forming snowflakes is so chaotic and has so many different conditions and there’s no many different shapes a snowflake can make that it’s basically impossible to find two that are identical.

Is called a chaotic system because even a tiny change in the initial conditions can result in an entirely different end state. Look up a double pendulum for example.
