OK...I dont speak Inuit, but hear are some examples:
Light Fluffy Snow
Wet heavy Snow
Crunchy Snow that you can walk on
Crunchy snow that you CANT 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 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
falls while walking (stumbles) - padlakpok
