The Great Blizzard of December 2009 – A Snowflake Workshop Update

I hopped onto Google Analytics this morning to check in on all of our sites, and was pleasantly surprised to find that traffic to our newly launched Snowflake Workshop, has skyrocketed the last few days!  We’ve yet to see much snow outdoors yet we are in the midst of a full-blown virtual blizzard.

As of this morning we’ve reached all four corners of the globe.  Visitors have created snowflakes from over 75 countries around the world, located on 6 different continents, Antarctica being the only one missing.  There are now over 5000 unique snowflakes in our database, and they are continuing to pour in at a rate of about 15 per minute, that’s a new snowflake created every 4 seconds!

The holiday season has managed to sneak up on me again this year, aided by the fact that we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing much real snow so far this winter.  However after clicking through and reading all of the wonderful holiday greetings on the Snowflake Workshop, it feels good to be able to spread a little bit of that holiday cheer with our own little snowstorm.
