Ah, the old story about the various Inuit names for snow, isn't it.

How about

natural=snow
snow=slush
snow=sleet
snow=blizzard
snow=drift
snow=white-out
snow=flurry
snow=powder
snow=dusting
snow=hardpack
snow=crust

if you're looking for diversity. - All these should, of course, ideally 
take the form of multiple tags, with one first saying "there is snow" 
and then, in a second or third tag, say something about where it came 
from, where it goes to, how much there is, how cold it is, and whether 
or not it has dog pee traces in it.

Bye
Frederik
