Snowflakes

Is it actually mathematically possible for every single snowflake to have fallen on planet earth to be different, while remaining six sided and symmetrical along three axes? Water is strange stuff indeed. While we're at it, why is water the only stuff in the universe that gets bigger when it gets colder? Answers on a postcard please....
