packing snow
Clumps together well
Packing snow is snow wet enough to hold together when compressed, ideal for making snowballs and snowmen.
It forms in temperatures near freezing, when moisture content allows the crystals to bond.
Powdery snow won't pack; it just falls apart in your hands.
We finally got some good packing snow.
