I’m looking for words or ways to describe different kinds of snow. I’m interested in how to describe snow in different textures, shapes of snowflakes and the changes between soft and crust, but all ways to describe different kinds of snow is welcome. I’m also interested in words that describe different kinds of ice.

I’d prefer generally accepted words/phrases within the English language, but other creative words/phrases are welcome too. :)

I'm looking for a good word to word my statement just right...

What would be a word to define what my ex boyfriend has done & is doing to me:

he is always saying how he's the best and that i'll never find someone as good as him and he says things like your new guy won't ever compare to me.

What's a good word to sum all of that up? What word best defines what he's doing?

I can't come up with anything...

Here's what I see as the problem with not being able to spell well: You can be intelligent in every other way, but if you can't spell, then you look like an idiot, even if you're not. I'm not saying I can spell every word, I'm realistic about that, no one can, and everyone makes typing mistakes, but come on people, I'm surprised that some people can spell their own names.
