Google Logo For Largest Observed Snowflake

By Barry Schwartz

Did you know that today, 125 years ago, in Fort Keogh, Montana, the largest snowflake was documented and placed in the world record book? The snowflake was 38 centimeters in diameter!

But honestly, I am even more amazed that someone actually documented this as a world record. And even more amazed Google has a special logo, aka Doodle, to remember the special day.

This may go into the world record book as one of the weirdest Google logos ever dreamed up by a Google Doodler?
