You're listening to shortwave from npr.
Hey, shortwavers, Winter is here, at least for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere of our dear planet.
And depending on where you are, there may or may not be snow.
The Guinness World Record folks have compiled a bunch of records related to snow, and NPR's Neil Greenfield Boyce was recently looking at them.
Hey, Nell.
Hey.
Okay, hit me with some snow records.
All right, how about the longest time spent in full body contact with snow?
So that would be 105 minutes and two seconds.
Oh, my gosh.
Those last two seconds must have been, like, intense.
Okay, let's hear another one.
How about the most people making snow angels simultaneously?
So that one is 8962 people who gathered in North Dakota.
And then there's the largest snowflake.
So the Guinness people say there was a snowflake 15 inches in diameter and 8 inches thick that fell in Montana in 1887.
Wow.
Okay, so a snowflake that was more than a foot across.
Is that, like, even possible?
Okay, that's what I wanted to know.
