Scientific American's Sense of Snow
Another favorite myth debunked...
I can think of a few other terms for snow: pain in the butt, annoyance, hassle and nuisance, just to name a few. In case you can't tell, I'm not very happy about the ice storm that hit the midsouth this week.

I'll take some of your snow. We didn't get any, and I'm feeling rather un-white-christmassy. (So Christmas was yesterday, shoot me, and I'll still take some snow.)
I'm chasing a 21 month old around the house because it's too cold with the ice and snow. I'd prefer the amount of snow they got in Arizona.
