WOW! I just looked outside!
Em R sum epic snowflakes! Smallest Democrats I've seen!

I just said the same thing to the wife - “those are some big snowflakes”.
Interesting. I’m just a couple of miles north of you and we had some big flakes.
Before the big snowflakes there were a lot of tiny snowflakes but they were more densely packed in the volume of air they occupied and generally moving more in a horizontal fashion than falling straight down. During the bigger snowflakes they were falling from left to right and from right to left. I didn't see any moving away or toward me. The big snowflakes are created by differences in temperature and humidity.
I Watched a movie last night I was really into called The Man Who Knew Infinity. It was about a man that was invited to Cambridge in 1913 to publish his genius level mathematical theorems. Infinity really raises a question. We all know what infinity is. This picture of the large snowflakes intrigued me.
How many snowflakes are there in a square foot of ground to make 1 inch of snow? How many in the 1 cubic foot of air above it in one microsecond of time? These have to be finite numbers and can be calculated. Of course the number will be variable from one square foot to another, and one microsecond to another.
Following my previous question, how many snowflakes in my back yard? In OKC? In the geographical area of Oklahoma? In the entire area the snow band has covered? When this snow event stops, this number of snowflakes is going to be very large and possibly larger than any human can comprehend let alone count. It has to be a finite number. It cannot be infinite.
Some mathematical genius will come up with some formula represented by symbols representing the possible variables.
Some poet will create prose comparing the number to the stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach.
Some religious scholar will write man will never know the number because of his limited capacity to understand God has numbered all of them and knows the exact number.
We have to realize though, this number is still not infinite.
