Can you count the snow that falls in winter? Sounds insane, right?. It’ll be like trying to count sand on the beach. Well, scientists will disagree with you on that because according to their research they have already counted snow. They say about one septillion  of snow crystals drop from the sky each winter. That’s a trillion trillion or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

According to Library of Congress, a snow crystal is a single ice crystal that gets stuck together to make a snow flakes. They say that each of these snow crystals are unique in shape and are not alike. The researchers have used data from cloud physicists, crystallographers, and meteorologists to study snow crystals and predict these facts because apparently going ”through all of the snow crystals produced every winter would be a daunting task.”
