Yes, I know. I didn't mean to imply that there was just one state of snow. Here in New York we have three kinds: snow, ice and slush. There are actually many, many kinds of snow and ice…

You've outdone yourself today! There are actually many, many kinds of snow and ice, as any avalanche scientist could tell you, but only a few names are necessary to characterise them, since numbers may be attached. For example, on testing the resistance of a snow layer in a winter snowpack, one might mark 'one finger' or 'two finger' onto the log. LOL. You’ve outdone yourself today!
