Hey 'Eater of Raw Meat,' What Kind of Snow Is That?
The snow today looks like salt. How odd.
Maybe it is really true that the Inuit have twenty words for snow. I heard that this myth is a lie, but maybe there is some truth in it. Just think for example how may English synonyms we have for rain:
It’s raining
It’s pouring
It’s pissing
It’s foggy
It’s shitty out there
I heard it was supposed to shower today.
Are we expecting precipitation?
Is rainfall expected, doctor?
Look out the window, it’s drizzling.
Ah, nothing like a light mizzle.
Damn, look at that downpour.
I can’t see with all this fog.
It’s only misting.
That’s 13. Give me seven more and we’ll be on par.
Later Additions:
Ahh, liguid sunshine
Just a sprinkle
Aggh!! Hail!!
Aggh!! Sleet!!

e.b. white used to write for the new yorker. he wrote an essay, once, about how the weather man described a rainy day as being "dismal." he made some comment about how we now know there's some philosophy shadowing scientific thought, and he wrote, "to the intimates of rain, no day is dismal, and a dull sky is as plausible as any other."
