It's Snowing!

The snow storm that was supposed to hit at 10 p.m. last night is finally here. A few flakes flurrying about, more sideways than down, followed by even more small flakes gusting down. It looks more like fog than snow. The trees the other side of the freeway are almost lost in the haze.

It's more than a mist, though. Can snow drizzle?

It can in Seattle. Ray Ramsey, a weather forecaster during the 60's and 70's, used to call those tiny little snowflakes "snow snifters". I was never sure where he got the term. Wikipedia does not include the term.
