The Canon page says:
Focusing Range: Normal: 1.6 ft./50cm-infinity (W), 3.3 ft./1m-infinity (T)
Macro: 0.39 in.-1.6 ft./1-50cm (W)
Super macro: 0-3.9 in./0-10cm (W)
So, if you set it up correctly, you can put the lens very close to the snowflake and still focus. Snowflakes are pretty small, it takes quite a few to fill a frame even with a real macro lens. You will need to experiment to see if you can get the photo you desire.

"Thanks John !..the crispness surprised me somewhat as i had used a 13mm close-up/macro extension tube attached to a 50mm Prime, the shot didn't need any sharpening in PS either. Oh, and no not yet, though i keep trying.. lol !!.."
