Weather Quiz
Powder Snow
You drift lightly without a sound — and somehow, the scenery has changed a little by the time anyone notices.
Powder snow is fine, dry snow that falls when it's very cold. It holds little water, so it doesn't clump together, and a breath of wind sends it swirling up. You probably move among people in a similar way: quietly, with a certain lightness.
You're more at ease watching the whole scene from a little way off than stepping into the spotlight. Your interests don't stay in one place; where you end up depends on which way the wind is blowing. A light touch that never pushes is your trademark.
Because it doesn't clump, powder snow is hard to make into snowballs or snowmen. You, too, would rather enjoy the moment than shape it into something lasting. That lightness can also lead people in a room full of rules and plans to say they can't tell where you are. Just saying goodbye before you leave is enough to show you were really there.
