OK Snow obsessives. Just how many types of snow (other than GRAUPEL) are there?

[WilfShelf]

I know of, um, graupel. And diamond dust.

And, 'big fat proper six-sided flakes'. Although doubtless there's a proper Sciencey name for those too.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

I only know of graupel because of OYBBK

brilliant scrabble word, too, I'll wager

[midnightexpress]

Isn't there some story about how inuits have 15 words for snow of different types? Them being experts and all.

[midnightexpress]

here I like 'covered in frosty sparkling snow'.
