Here in southern Maine this has been the year that winter overlooked. Personally, I have relished the ability to walk without fear of falling on ice and snow, and the sweep snow dustings rather than hours of shoveling. [I have only had to shovel three times all winter!!]
But.... to remind us of the other side:
According to the Guiness World Records the
largest snowflake recorded was
in Fort Keough, Montana, in
1887
It measured 15 inches wide by 8 inches thick ! !
At that size instead of shoveling you could pick them up and carrying them them a couple at a time!
