I wonder if the random-walk dynamics of falling snowflakes is understood well enough to estimate the likely sideways drift of a single snowflake falling in a windless environment, from its cloud creation to ground touchdown, a sort of expected life-history of a single flake?
For definiteness, say each flake is created in a nimbostratus cloud at height 1km.
My guess: sideways drifting is on the order of 100m...?
