They do freeze all the way, they just freeze slowly, while they fall. It's the patches of different humidity and air temperature they pass through while they freeze that makes them take different shapes.
[Not that he's really expecting to be listened to at this point. You know, Lan, maybe if you paid attention to your brother's bouts of nerding out you could learn things that'd help you get better grades. It's gotta be more entertaining than getting a lecture from Megaman, if nothing else.
And he certainly can't argue with those points - not that he particularly wants to be in the real world. He just really wants to see what a snowflake looks like.]

Yeah, they don't uh...freeze completely, I think. Or else they'd just become tiny ice cubes...
[He might've started talking over Megaman's explanation a bit. No Megaman-sensei please.]
Wellll...at least you're warm and dry in there and don't have to worry about freezing your feet or nose off?

[He listened to that part! But it was one of those rare instances where he actually realized he was being kind of a jerk and backpedaled.]
Nah, I'm not that cold yet. I might stay outside a little longer...make some snowballs, just in case...
[Someone might need a snowball or two to the back sometime in the future. Gotta be prepared.]
no subject
[So very stern. Don't you dare go chucking snowballs at people unprovoked, young man!]
Just don't stay out too long, okay? Or at least take breaks to go in and warm up. You don't want to end up getting sick or something.

...Wait, do you mean if I do it now or if I do it any time ever?

[As for that threat? He just stares sternly right back at Lan. Which do you think he means, bb bro? (spoiler he means "any time ever.")]
