ASR Staff Engagement February 6 Survey

This week’s ASR Engagement Survey tests your Groundhog Day knowledge. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences.

The last survey tested your knowledge about winter. If you are afraid you have frostbite, you should not rub the affected area with snow (80% were correct). This could damage the skin tissue and a better alternative is to use warm, but not hot, water. A regular snow crystal starts with a six-sided structure (48.6% were correct).

According to Guinness World Records, the largest snowflake was 15 inches wide (17.1% were correct). This was recorded in 1887 in Montana. Unfortunately, there was no photographic evidence. Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated.
