snow
Cold white precipitation
Snow is frozen precipitation that falls as soft white flakes formed from ice crystals.
It accumulates on the ground in winter climates: The snow was knee-deep by morning.
Snow also describes the visual static on old television screens.
To snow someone is to deceive them with elaborate talk: Don't try to snow me with excuses.
As slang, snow is cocaine.
