New Snow



We’ve recently had over 3.5 ft of snow in Hope BC. Most of this material was pushed into piles and now melting with the warmer temperatures. In my 64 years I have never seen snow like this before. The Inuit have over 50 terms for various snows and a new one is now needed to describe this newly engineered snow.

In all my years I have never seen a pile of snow evaporate. Usually a pile of snow creates a pool of water beside it but this stuff does not do that. It simply disappears with no standing water left behind. What are we going to call this snow?
