What does SNOW mean in Scrabble?
noun
Frozen water vapor that falls from clouds as soft white flakes.
Individual flakes form around tiny particles of dust or pollen high in the atmosphere, and no two are exactly alike in shape. Snow can also function as a verb describing the act of these flakes falling, as in a forecast predicting it will snow overnight. Regions near mountains or at high latitude often receive far more of it each year than lowland areas near the equator.
How SNOW is used
Can function as either a noun for the substance itself or a verb describing its falling.
- Fresh snow covered the entire village overnight.
- Children built a fort from the deep snow in the yard.
- Meteorologists say it may snow again by Friday.
- The mountain peaks stayed covered in snow well into summer.
- Drivers were warned about heavy snow along the mountain pass.
