Sitting here south of Boston in the midst of a hefty New England snowstorm (8" so far, more on the way) I've found this Make-a-Flake site a fun distraction. Using a very intuitive interface, you cut up a piece of folded virtual paper which the program then unfolds to reveal the paper snowflake you have created. Don't like it? Keep cutting. Like it? Print out a cutting plan or contribute it to the gallery. Download the cutting plan for any of the gallery flakes--some are extremely cool.

Here are two of my snowflakes...followed by two nice ones from the gallery.

Definitely worth a look.
