Maybe this is merely the first time I've payed close enough attention, but it seems to me that the snow today is amazingly large. The individual flakes are between 3 and 6 millimeters across. I can actually see with my naked eye the hexagonal symmetry and the shapes that everyone always calls snowflakes.
My memory is that most times when it's snowed, it's either been too small to make out shapes, or it clumped enough that the individual flakes were indistinguishable.
This is very nifty.
