Snow

   Posted by: Kertap   in Utah

I see it snowed in Ireland. If you can call it snow. It’s more like what the eskimos call anui. Which literally means light layer of snow which melts quickly in the morning because it’s spring. The snow we get here in Salt Lake is incredibly light and dry so that it doesn’t stick together and create Ice. This is called muruaneq which is eskimonese for snow that doesn’t hurt when you fall on it but takes about 10 minutes to move 6 ft’ because it’s up to your hips and you can forget about trying to put your ski’s back on that takes ages. Seriously. That’s what it means.
