Truly I can't remember ever seeing snowflakes this big in all my years. At times it looked like leaves blowing outside, the snowflakes were so enormous. Despite the blustery wind we had to take Andrew outside to see them. When we got out there we had a pleasant surprise and discovered that we finally had the perfect snow for a snowman as well.
