Photo Hunt (Wet-Rain)

In North Idaho we have to contend with snow. Many ways of describing snow.

“wet snow”

“dry snow”

“cold snow”

I've never heard of warm snow.

When it comes to moving snow about. Most people now have a snow removing device such as snow plow or blower.

But back when I was young people use shovel actual a snow shovel. It somewhat looks like “grain shovel” there is a difference.

As one who moves snow may use terms such as

“light snow”

“wet snow”

Wet snow would stick to your shovel.

“Blanket” is a term use to describe when the ground is complete covered.

When one has a little or no visibility the term mostly use around here is

“White out”

Anther word for “blizzard”

I think this is the prettiest way of describe snow when it comes out the sky so peaceful

“Angels dandruff”

But when one talks of rain I've never heard anyone yet use the term

“dry rain”

but the terms

“cold rain”

“warm rain”

Is one way to know if one needs to bundle up or not.

Then there is term to describe how fast or the rate of rain coming down.

“It's raining cats and dogs”

Question time...Does it rain ducks and geese in another part of the world

“It's a down pour”

“It's dumping buckets”

“A soaking”

But when it not raining all that heavy one may hear terms like

“A few drops”

“it didn't even settle the dust”

I hope all of you had a little fun reading these odd way of explain snow and rain. I can't think of any more. Feel free to leave any ones you remember describing rain or snow.
