The largest snowflake ever was seen on this day, January 28, 1887, in Fort Keogh, Montana.
To celebrate, there's a cute Google Doodle today.
* * * Update:
Darn. That Google Doodle is gone already. As soon as it shows up in Google Doodles finder, I'll put a new link here. You can find images at other websites, but so far I haven't seen one that shows the birds flying away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
( Check back later for a good link.) Then hit refresh and watch again. Watch more closely. Did you see those two birds on top of the final "e" fly up when the snowflake started coming down? They are up there on that wire. Click on them and they will fly away.

Then go over to Wikipedia to read the List of Weather Records. Down about 2/3 of the way you can see largest snowflake in the Precipitation section. Perhaps you would want to look at all the other records and maybe memorize them in case you wind up on some game show and need to know any of this trivia in order to win the million dollars.
