Snowflakes!

Do you like snowflakes?  I like snowflakes!  Did you know that snowflakes have 6 sides and no two are exactly the same.  The form and shape depend on the temperature and moisture content of the cloud it comes from. When it’s really cold outside, the snow is fine and the snowflake is simple.   When it’s near freezing, snowflakes are larger and more complex.

The largest snowflake was almost 15 inches wide and almost 8 inches thick!  It was in Fort Keough, Montana6a00d8341c18b253ef01b8d0e5f98e970c-800wi
