50 words for snow

Here is Denver we had our first snowfall of note this week. It was pretty, looking out my windows at 6 a.m.

More than likely, before the end of winter, we will all be very tired of snow. But, for now, it’s a novelty, especially since this in the first winter I’ll be spending in Denver in 10 years. I was in Seattle for 3 winters and then Florence for the rest. Snow is a novelty in both of those places.

I’m reminded that it is said that the Eskimos have at least 50 words for snow. Is it true? I have no idea, but it’s a pretty thought.

For the truth of the matter, see:
