Wait, snowflakes are that big? Or is this just a silly meme?

I have very limited experience with snow being in Australia and all

Snowflakes vary in size from tiny specs to big, crystals a few millimeters in diameter like in the pic.

I'm pretty sure that is a small bird, but yeah, they can definitely be visible to the naked eye (depending on the type of snow)

Sometimes they are, yep! They vary in size and shape quite a bit.

You know how some raindrops are teeny tiny and light, some are big and fat and heavy? And often you can tell because of how they look and feel differently on your skin and stuff? It's just like that!
