I just spent my first winter living in a place where it snows. Some observations:
When it falls - even very heavily - snow is silent.
Air turbulence and wind currents are revealed as a visible mesh during snowfall, like adding ink in water.
Snow does not “pour” it “dumps”. There is no “drizzle” there are “flurries”.
Fresh snow absorbs acoustic energy, dampening sound reflections. However when snow on the ground begins to freeze a hard ice layer forms on the surface and it transforms into a highly reflective surface. Since natural snow piles often form smooth curved surfaces, when they freeze they can cause really unusual reflection patterns that are uncommon in nature (more common with things like curved glass, metal or other man-made hard curving shapes).
Puddles form from melting snow but ice chunks float to the top, creating a texture that looks just like concrete but actually veils a pool of water just underneath.
Snow has an unusual way of finding and sticking to metal (note the spokes of the bike pictured above).
