National Make Cut Out Snowflake Day!

The Northeast is having a NorEaster!!!  Yeah!  The kids are so excited and can't wait to go sledding!

 Bring out the paper and scissors, and cut out some paper snowflakes.  Beginning in 1885, Wilson Alwyn Bentley studied thousands of snowflakes under a microscope before concluding no two were identical. It shouldn't come as a surprise, that there are seemingly countless different snowflake designs.  Here are few we found to help you out....
