In advance, please pardon my poor animation skills; this is the first time I've attempted it. 
The idea of the weapon is similar to Death From Above and Ice Bow. A flare is thrown, which marks the landing spot for three snowflakes, as seen in the animation:

The snowflakes will then remain there for the thrower's (the person who used the weapon) next two turns. Any eggs which come into contact with the snowflakes are frozen until the snowflakes disappear.
I thought this idea might make games a little more interesting, as it brings in an 'obstacle course' of sorts with jump turned on. If a player wishes to cross to the other side of the snowflakes, they could use the jump feature to manoeuvre their way through without coming into contact with each flake. Of course, if this idea was to be employed, the spacing of the snowflakes would need to be adjusted to make it possible.
I haven't thought of a potential name or image for the weapon itself yet, so bear with me!
Edit: I knew there was something I'd forgotten! In terms of damage, I don't think the weapon should deal a great amount. Perhaps five per snowflake.
