Besnowing

Present participle of 'besnow'; the action of covering with snow or making white like snow.

Etymology

Gerund form of 'besnow,' created by adding '-ing,' allowing the word to describe ongoing winter transformation.

Kelly Says

Climate scientists and meteorologists have actually revived this poetic word to describe the process of snow accumulation—it sounds more technical and precise than the casual 'snowing,' which is kind of surprising for such an old-fashioned word.
