Are snowflakes really all unique?

When I was growing up, the party line was “all snowflakes are unique” and they never repeat. I accepted that when I was 10 years old.
But in thinking about the purported megastorm in New England tomorrow, I wonder. We’re talking about 24+ inches of snow over several thousand square miles of the US.
Is it really possible that not one of the zillions of snowflakes is a duplicate of another?
