Somebody said big flakes mean that you are very close to the rain snow line, but I also believe the big flakes are part of the heaviest precip. Does that mean smaller flakes mean further away from rain/snow line, thus a changeover is less likely?

Big flakes means alot of moisture (water) within the flake meaning could be transitioning over to rain soon and small fine flakes is indicative of cold air in every layer of the atmosphere and whole flake frozen.
