Les neiges d'antan

by C. Fernsebner, concerning the matter of Technological Advances

How do you hold on to a snowflake forever? With superglue! Its tendency to "seep into the tiniest nooks and crannies, harden on contact with water, and solidify rapidly make it perfect for taking an impression of something that is very small, made of water, and ephemeral."

P.S. Make-a-Flake is awesome, if your prefer your snowflakes manmade and vector-based.
