    I got home the Tuesday the week of Christmas. I don't like going out this time of year and sitting on holiday weekends.

    Not hard at all if you have a fork lift or front end loader that will lift the arch to its standing height. Then its only the abiliity to bolt the sections together.

    Part two of useless bits of information about the snow:

    ·It’s a myth that no two snowflakes are the same. In 1988, a scientist found two identical snow crystals. They came from a storm in Wisconsin.
    The largest snowflake may have been 15 inches wide. According to some sources, the largest snowflakes ever observed fell during a snowstorm in January 1887 at Montana’s Fort Keogh. While witnesses said the flakes were “larger than milk pans,” these claims have not been substantiated.

    Snow is translucent not white, snow like the ice particles it’s made up of, is actually colorless. It’s translucent, which means that light does not pass through it easily like e.g glass, but is rather reflected. It’s the light reflected off a snowflake’s faceted surface that creates its white appearance.

    On average each winter in the USA at least 1 Septillion ice crystals fall from the sky that’s a 1 followed by 24 zero’s.
    ·The most snow to fall in a 24 hour period in the United States is 75.8 inches or just over 6 feet. In 1921, over six feet of snow fell between April 14 at 2:30 p.m. and April 15 at 2:30 p.m. in Silver Lake, Colorado.

    Most people never realize that Japan is actually the snowiest place in the world. Sukayu Onsen, about 300 km north of Tokyo Japan on average gets up to 40-foot of snow.

    Pfft Snow flakes come in all sizes. Many people call them millenials these days.
