first snow
Season's initial flurries
First snow is the initial snowfall of the season, marking winter's arrival.
The phrase carries nostalgic or magical connotations—children's excitement, the world transformed overnight into white stillness: We woke up to the first snow of the year.
It often signals a shift in routine and mood, the beginning of the cold months.
