Snowflakes vary widely by size, temperature, pattern, and number of crystals. One estimate says a typical snowflake of 100 crystals would be 3 mg. So, if you only have 1 mg of snow, you have 1 snowflake that is 1/3rd the typical size, or you have 1/3rd of a typical snowflake.
I think the range of snowflake mass is wide enough to say that the answer can be "1 snowflake, although a small one".

well thats a impossible question to answer due to the fact that u have no data supporting the original wieght of each snowflake. also there is no snowflake the same so its impossible to have a steady weight.....can u give us more background on the question ill be able to help if i got more to work on.....(mg) is milligram so 1,000,000th of a gram so 0.000001
