Geocache Description:

This cache is just a flake compared to a Snowman. The “Inupiaq” Eskimo term for snowflake is “qannIk.” Thus you have the name.

You are looking for a camouflaged container originally sold as a container for keeping matches dry. You should use sound judgment if it has been raining. Be careful not to slip and fall. The difficulty rating is a 5 if there has been recent flash flooding or a flash flood is ongoing. I changed the overall difficulty from 1 1/2 due to a number of individuals having trouble finding the cache the first time.
