The bigger the snowflake, the higher the temperature. So if they are tiny you can assume it is very cold. This type of snow also tends to be more dry. As a snowflake reaches temperatures above freezing, the snowflake will begin to melt, forming a coating of water on the surface, which acts like a glue to allow other snowflakes to stick to it easily. Because larger snowflakes are associated with warming temperatures, it is usually a strong indication that snow is about to end soon. Therefore, you will usually see smaller snowflakes during the peak of a snowfall and larger snowflakes toward the end.
