2.4 metres. 1' of snow = 1" of rain.

well it's between those to guesses, but much, much closer to Steve's

if having difficulty believing a fragile item like a snowflake could actually hold together over a certain size ,so i'm saying 3 inches'ish.

Thanks Istemen.
A new world record was set recently in a Spanish or maybe Latin American league football match. What was it, and why was it odd?
