Maybe he meant that as like "precipitation will fall in the form of snow now, but as rain later"? It's kinda poetic. I like it.
Sort of. Snow showers mean periods of intense, sometimes violent snow that are short lived and produce no accumulation. Usually because it is too warm to stick. When us New Englanders see "snow showers" in the forecast we anticipate that our commute will be prolonged--not by a decrease in tire traction, but by a reduction in visibility.
Snow showers is fine. I understand snow showers. But ‘showers falling as snow’ is a stupid way of saying it.
Yes I do. That's part of why I went home in February rather than August this year. Turned out to be a lucky choice as well.
I like a bit of snow now and then--is it really winter without a foot or two at least once during the season?
I may have talked about this before here, but on Valentine's Day 2014 (I think that was the year) Osaka got about an inch of snow. The streets naturally battered down to water with slush in the gutters. The city bus service was canceled for the day. The taxis were running tire chains.
It's like living in Texas! We got 170 something inches in New Hampshire one year. When the snowplow could no longer find room in my driveway, my guy sent in a bulldozer to move the banks. Taller than my house, they were! I think they cancelled school twice. You know how you keep a beer from freezing in NH? Stick it in the snow to warm it up!
