Not all snow crystals look like the commonly photographed 6-sided stars/flowers.  A great deal of snow falls in other forms.  Pictured here are 6-sided columns.  These little guys look like little long granules.  There are many different forms that snow can fall as, including bullets, needles, plates and more.
