LARGEST SNOWFLAKE RECORDED IN THE History
- A snow flake is a feathery ice crystal and you would be amazed to read this news which happened 129 years ago.
- Eye witnessed the Giant Snowflake to be the largest ever seen was witnessed by the Army personnel who were posted at Fort Keogh.
- The Fort Keogh was a post in the USA located on the western side of the then-Territory of Montana, two years before Montana was admitted to the Union as the 41st U.S.
- The snow storm which was being witnessed by the soldiers saw some 15-inch wide snowflakes fall, and it is said that snowflakes of their breadth and thickness were being witnessed for the first time in human history.
- soldiers who were reportedly posted at Keogh Fort saw the falling of these large snowflakes in the area on the 28th of January in the year 1887.
- The event was actually some 129 years ago from the present day. These snowflakes were said to be considerably larger in size and thickness from the usual snowflakes seen in the area, which were generally never wider than 3 inches in size.
- According to scientific theories, these Giant snowflakes can in fact be formed easily. In any case, if during a snowfall these flakes have some water base stored in them, then many separate snowflakes can stick together to form one big snowflake, and the same may happen if strong winds are blowing and forcing them together.
- Even many stories followed after the falling of the largest snowflake in which many flakes were reported to be as big as Frisbee Flying Saucers.
