The six sides of a snowflake are very similar, but they're not the same. They're similar because they all formed in very similar conditions. There is some randomness to it, which helps prevent snowflakes from being perfectly symmetric, but by and large crystal growth patterns for a given substance are dictated by the conditions under which they formed.
