MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How big can a snowflake actually get?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How big can a snowflake actually get?

With the snow falling outside I figured this is a good time to figure out how big the biggest snowflake ever was.

According to our trusty old friends at Guinness World Records, the largest snowflake on record was measured as 15 inches in diameter and 8 inches thick. Wait, WHAT?! That’s insane. Apparently these flakes fell at Fort Keogh in eastern Montana back in January of 1887. That’s a looooooong time ago so I guess take those measurements with a grain of salt.

Safe to say I haven’t seen any snowflakes here in Connecticut that big… YET!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What do the numbers mean in Motel 6 and Super 8?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What do the numbers mean in Motel 6 and Super 8?

You’ve probably driven be a Motel 6 or Super 8 a million times here in Connecticut and thought to yourself the same thing I do. What do the numbers mean?!

Both places got their names from the original prices of the rooms. Motel 6 started at $6 in 1962, and Super 8 at $8.88 in 1974.

Now in 2021 it’s like $80 for a Motel 6 room. I just looked it up. They should have to change the number each time the price goes up. “Hi yes, Motel 80 I’d like a room for this weekend”
