dry snow
Light, powdery flakes
Dry snow is snow with low moisture content, typically falling in cold temperatures.
It's light and powdery, doesn't pack well for snowballs, and is prized by skiers for its fluffy texture.
Dry snow blows easily in wind and shovels without the heavy, wet weight that strains backs: Perfect dry snow for the slopes today.
