Google’s homepage “Doodle” celebrates the 125th anniversary of the largest recorded snowflake — a stone-cold behemoth said to be 15 inches in diameter.  The freakishly massive flake reportedly drifted or perhaps plummeted to earth at Montana’s Fort Keogh in 1887.

In Google’s stylish new animation, a gargantuan flake falls from the sky over several seconds, settling next to a cow and sending a couple of birds flitting away. (The snowflake also becomes the middle “O” in Google, with a shadowed tower representing the “L” and a leafless tree sitting in for the ”G.)
