   Apparently the Scots have 421 separate and unique words for snow, truly   
   counted,   
   itemized, and catalogued.   
      
   (The Inuit have only a handful of core words which they combine in different   
   ways to describe snow, while the Scots have unique words.)   
      
   The researchers are still working on the words for rain, and expect a lot more,   
   the paper says.   
      
   Cite? search for "421 words for snow", or, for instance:   
      
      
      
   The words end up here:
