Google is at it again, creating yet another of its whimsical doodles. This time, the search giant's Google Doodle on its main search page revels in the glories of midwinter, celebrating the 125th anniversary of the discovery of the world's largest snowflake.

How large was it? How's 15 inches (38 centimeters) grab you? Imagine the looks on the faces of those who saw this enormous ice crystal the size of a pizza falling from the sky in Fort Keogh, Montana in 1887.
Click on the Doodle, and you get results about that humongous snowflake.
Even though this is a rather flaky excuse for a Google Doodle, by no means matching up with some of the other spectacular Google Doodles or that "Let It Snow" Easter egg we encountered recently, we still like the silly humor of the gigantic snowflake, functioning as the second letter "O" in the word "Google."
This Google Doodle is reportedly only visible in the U.S. and the UK, so for those of you who don't live in either of those countries, here's a video that's even better, showing you the same thing, but with enhanced audio with music and a perfectly timed sound effect:

Each package gets larger with a mouse-over, and a click on it returns search results pertinent to a specific country or the particular items featured in a scene. This one is from December 24, 2010.
