that's what the African children say when you talk about snow. Unfortunately this one's real.

It's fake obviously

Nice video. We rarely get snow in the UK but we've had quite a bit this year. I recorded some big flakes today. See my video.

If I could figure out how to run that on a continuous loop, that video would make a cool screen saver...

it is not fake. i come from Atlantic Canada and I have seen much bigger snowflakes. It isn't all the time, but once a year we get huge flakes.

Big snow, little snow, little snow, big snow !!

I don't understand it but it really makes you cooler watching it

Right now it is over 90 degrees where I live and that snow fall is making me feel much cooler. I will look at it as often as I can through the summer. Thanks for posting

This has happened a few times at my local Ski Resort (CO) .. it was weird as hell... also we hv gotten snowflakes that were all balled up and slightly hard (not like hale though because it wasnt ice... it was soft but heavy)
