Thank you, Google.
I almost made it through the day without marking the 125th anniversary of the world’s largest snowflake.
And to think, today could have been such a waste.

Old lady mustaches & beards still run rampant though….
Disney’s New Look of the Day: Starting February 3rd, Disneyland employees will be allowed to grow a beard following a landmark revision to the Walt Disney Company’s infamous “Disney Look.”
Some restrictions apply: The facial hair can’t be longer than a quarter-inch. And soul patches are still prohibited as well they should be.
Many of the other notoriously strict dress codes are still in place as well: No tattoos, body piercings, “extreme” hairstyles, and straps on sleeveless tops must be at least 3 inches wide.
Still, the acceptance of beards marks an important attitude adjustment at the House that Cartoon Mice Built.
“They want to stay tradition-based, and they also want to be current,” Disney culture chronicler David Koenig told the LA Times. “They don’t want it to become a museum of what entertainment used to be like.”
