Fort Keogh, Montana (6/6)

List item

Montana holds a number of weather records. One of them isn’t very well known, though. In 1887, a snowstorm hit Fort Keogh. During that storm, the largest snowflake ever measured fell. It measured 15 inches across and about 8 inches thick.

The weather we experience day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year may at times be severe, but it is worthwhile to keep in mind that it isn’t what is happening elsewhere. It is helpful to remember that the world is a very big place and we only experience a tiny portion of it.
