Without any qualifiers, yes.
Prove it.
Relatively chaotic collections of water molecules form into relatively ordered crystalline pattersn of snowflakes.

Chaos doesn't really exist. Things just dump back into the vacuum.

It happens all the time

Ordered states are often a more energetically favorable configuration than unordered states. This is how crystalization occurs.

Does order come of chaos by itself? Prove it. Snow is "ordered" --it consists of millions of perfectly formed 6-sided crystals-- yet it forms from disordered water vapor.
Does it do that "by itself"? That is a philosophical question. It certainly does so according to the laws of nature.
Personally, I believe that God is the ultimate author of the laws of nature. But I don't believe that He sits down and carves each snowflake. I think He created a universe with natural laws and knew that those laws would be sufficient to accomplish His purposes. I therefore see no conflict between my belief in God and my acceptance of the overwhelming evidence for evolution.
