Snow

Anglo-Saxon family name

Snow is frozen water vapor that falls as white crystalline flakes.

It accumulates on the ground in cold weather, creating a blanket that can be measured in inches or feet: We got eight inches of snow last night.

Snow also means to deceive with charm or flattery: Don't let him snow you.

As slang, snow is cocaine.

To be snowed under is to be overwhelmed, usually with work.
