So they tossed all sorts of powdered substances into the fog in their laboratory "cold chamber." Silver iodide did the trick magnificently, turning the fog to snow. Silver iodide crystals are hexagonal, as snow crystals are. Apparently snowflakes recognize the kinship and are fooled into hanging on. An infinitesimal whiff...
