Default Largest flakes I can remember seeing.

Lol.

... must have been a snow goose ... (groan)

Seriously though, I do not think I have seen any flakes that size here.

A well respected observer in West Wickham, Kent , during the snowy March of
1916 said that the snowflakes on the 3rd and the 6th were 4 inches
(10cm)across. I believe the world record is about A4 sized or about 30cm by
20cm. A virtual snow cover with one flake.

Yes, another boring 'snow weather report' thread. But the 'guys' that just
came down from the sky were a good 3 x 1.5 inches, the occaisonal one

maybe
bigger than that.
Never mind 50p pieces. These things were like giant Goose feathers.
Slight covering on the grass, roof, but melting on the roads and

pavements.

Hi Ian,
Lol wow, A4 sized snowflakes.. Imagine that!
Today the flakes I saw were truly an incredible size for me. Didn't see any
at 4 inches, but certainly some were 3 inches or just a lil' bit more.
