Largest Snowflake

Did you know that each winter one septillion of snow crystals drop from the sky and also that it takes about a million small droplets to prepare one snowflake? As common as it would seem at first glance, snow is actually a very complex kind of precipitation. If you might be wondering that's the world’s largest snowflake or what is the record to the greatest snowfall in a very United States, you have landed on right page.

According to specialists, “snowflakes are agglomerates of many frozen ice crystals. most snowflakes are less than one-half inch across”, NSIDC. The water post of snowflakes is more variable than we think. An average snowflake is created up of 180 billion molecules of water, but the snow-water ration depends on several factors such as temperature, crystal structure, wind speed etc. Even if there aren’t any images of the biggest snowflake ever recorded, the Guinness Book of World Records states that a giant snowflake was found at Fort Keogh, Montana on January 28, 1887. It was 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick.
