Snow woman!!!
So a side story, I've shared with some in kin chat of my wanderings in Africa. On one of our ongoing assignments (at the time), I had to translate snow, when we were translating the book of Revelations to their heart language. These Africans had no idea what snow is.
Ended up using the word for sheep's wool, as that is the whitest thing in their understanding. (Now before I get nailed for blasphemy -- we added a footnote that points back to the French word for snow. French being the trade language in West Africa).
Anyway, just a side story

That's cool! :D
How else would you describe snow to someone that never would have even seen it? Thanks!

In contrast to that, I have heard that in the Eskimo language there is 50 words for snow! :)

I'm not sure, but the snowbeast on the left looks like it's fighting off tears... No idea what the ones on the right are saying, but they are baddies...
On the other hand, a nice snowman gave Josc here a hug. How sweet!
