Can you make snow out of other chemicals besides water?

Can you make snow out of other chemicals besides water?
Theoretically I wouldn't think so, as snow is ice crystles made from water. So no water, no ice crystles, no snow.

[nipwoni]

What about crystals of other chemicals? Can they make similar structure to snowflakes?

I don't know if actual snowflakes can be formed by other elements, but other gases can form ice.
