I am seeing something I've never seen before

South Central Michigan snow flakes 3 inches in diameter. I've seen lots of snow storms. But this is spectacular. They have been relatively huge all day. Last 30 minutes have really been something.

It's beautiful, but snow like that is devilishly wet and heavy. I hope you don't get too much of it.
