We can think of at least a dozen words for snow. In addition to the four letter word itself, there's hail, sleet, ice, flurry, slush, snowflake, glacier, pack, powder, crud, and crust. Each type of snow comes with its own special way to traverse it on foot. Last week was filled with snow, some slush, and occasionally under all that was an ice subsurface. Amazingly, as long as you were careful, walking wasn't that bad. There was not much running. With each type of snow also comes a word or phrase that best describes quickly crossing its surface. Fall, face plant, digger, suddenly smelling the ground, wipe out or face wash just to name a few.
-Nemo: No face plant yet, but the year is young.
