"The Final Say: The Importance of Snow" by Monty Gilmer

THE FINAL SAY: THE IMPORTANCE OF SNOW
by Monty Gilmer

Scots [the English language of Scotland] has 421 words to describe snow.
     -- From "Findings" by Rafil Kroll-Zaidi in Harper's Magazine (January 2016)

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them; there ought to be as many for love.
     -- Margaret Atwood
