Mmmm.... it's hard to photograph snow. The circular shapes that the eye knows to see are streaks. Take my word for it then, these are big round dots of snow. I'm a longtime fan of extra-large snowflakes.

Conversation:
"I was planning to go outside, but now I'm not so sure."

"It's nice. It's better than rain."

PS. For more photographs of the snow, in higher resolution, enter the House of Althouse: having accidentally destroyed a file over there, I've redone the snow photograph posts, which can now be found here and here.
