Snow
A square-rigged vessel, differing from a brig only in that she has a trysail mast close abaft the mainmast, on which a large trysail is hoisted.
Watery particles congealed into white or transparent crystals or flakes in the air, and falling to the earth, exhibiting a great variety of very beautiful and perfect forms.
Fig.: Something white like snow, as the white color (argent) in heraldry; something which falls in, or as in, flakes.
To fall in or as snow; -- chiefly used impersonally; as, it snows; it snowed yesterday.
To scatter like snow; to cover with, or as with, snow.

Snow Quotations
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
William Shakespeare
The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.
Lao Tzu
I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.
Mae West
Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.
William Faulkner
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo
Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.
Earl Wilson
The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin
Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.
Bill Watterson
