flakes
Snow's individual pieces
Flakes are small, flat, thin pieces that break or peel off a larger surface: flakes of rust, flakes of paint, snowflakes.
Breakfast cereals come in flake form.
To flake is to break into such pieces or to peel away in layers.
A flake is also slang for an unreliable person—one who cancels plans or doesn't follow through: Don't count on him; he's a total flake.
