 I didn't know this, but apparently snowflakes aren't always tiny and cute! They can be big boys! Back in 1887, a rantoner in Montana, USA called Matt Coleman, measured a snowflake to be a whopping 38 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters thick. That is a big snowflake! Mr. Coleman went to say the snowflake was larger than milk pans. Huh, it's related to the saucepan.
