OK...I don’t speak Inuit, but hear are some examples:
Light Fluffy Snow
Wet heavy Snow
Crunchy Snow that you can walk on
Crunchy snow that you CAN’T walk on
Wind driven Snow
Snow that Sticks to your clothes

and the perennial favorite:

YELLOW Snow, which you are NOT supposed to EAT.

And yes, they are probably CUSS words! LOL!

I like that shovel, Kathy.

Looks like it pushes a lot of snow.

Well, the ATV plow is the simplest operating one of all. When you want the plow to go in the other direction; my husband has to get out and change the plow blade to a different direction.

The tractors, however just push that snow, no getting out at all.

The lesson started with a screaming fight with mom (That’s a given).

Then his little sister tried to pull the ipad out of his hand and the two got into a fist fight.

Then, mom removed the ipad and the kicking, screaming girl from the room.

Then Ben proceeded to pound out Bach’s Minuet on the very lowest keys on the keyboard while rocking the entire assembly back and forth, attempting to tip it over.

When I finally got him calmed down we did the lesson, then his dad showed up and wanted to know WHY I was not giving him more “finger exercises.”

You can’t make this stuff up.

Have a funomenal day!

Still up fussing with it (almost 1am here) - well not fussing actually but creating folders and putting stuff where I want. It’s fun. It’s a large screen Toshiba.

I was going to be real smart and use a free dictionary on your descriptions. But they don’t list a word for “snow”.

I did enjoy this translation

I am Irish, and Mik-MaQ(a tribe related to the Inuit).
Also I have been described as a Right Wing Whacko.

Does that make me a MikMaQ Paddy Whack?

Happy Wednesday To The Canteen

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent
You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few days.

You love to work, especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.

When it comes time to relax, you have no problem letting go. You are already pretty relaxed as is!
