Yes, I know we
are tired of this cold weather but did you know…

largest snowflake was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, at 38 cm wide
and 20 cm thick. The snow flake fell at Fort Keogh, Montana, USA on 28 January
1887.
With tires for
his mouth and trees for arms, "Angus" - the tallest snowman, was made
by residents of Bethel, Maine, USA, measuring a whopping 34.63 meters.
"Angus" took 2 weeks to build, and was completed on 17 February 1999.
The greatest
snowfall recorded was on Mt Rainier, Washington State, USA - Over 30metres fell
during the winter of 1972.
In the winter

Dirty snow
melts faster than clean.
