I like a white Christmas, but so far, our only snow fell and melted away several weeks ago. A little snow-like stuff fell yesterday morning, giving me hope. Unfortunately, the "almost" snow proved entirely incompetent and failed to stick anywhere. It was only snow while in the air, and the white specks melted away the instant they touched the ground, cars, trees, buildings, or anything else.
A myth persists that Eskimos have dozens of words
for snow—hundreds of words, some people suggest. But there is no good word for
what fell yesterday. Almost snow. That’s what we got.
