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

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

I only know of graupel because of OYBBK

brilliant scrabble word, too, I'll wager

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

here I like 'covered in frosty sparkling snow'.
