Every language has its own words for the magical, mesmerising flakes that fall from the sky.
And in Māori we meet Huka-rere – ‘one of the children of rain and wind’.From mountain tops and frozen seas to city parks and desert hills, each of these linguistic snow crysta In Icelandic it is hundslappadrífa – ‘snowflakes as big as a dog’s paw’ – that softly blanket the streets.
