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.

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.

Another one for the books in Kent.

Tie me gander/goose down boys, tie me gander goose-down.

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

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


When were toddlers we were told when it was snowing that it was
"Mother Goose shaking her feather-beds".

Featherbeds belong to the days when one had to breath on the windows on
a frosty morning, then scrape the "ice ferns" off.

Ah yes ... those were very comfortable ... if only they still existed.
