Bonus points if there's a known onomatopoeia to describe the sound.
In China we call it snow and describe the sound using the exact onomatopoeia as rain
We call this "fleas" in my language
Polish: śnieg (snow) or kasza/kaszka/kaszana (groats)
It's "neige" which means "snow" in french
"Snow" in Norway. Alternatively "Snowball fight"
It's just static.
PSHHHHHHH
The Hiss.
Salt and pepper fight.
just "static" in the states in the 1990s. I swear to god, sometimes I could see something in it. Could have been psychosomatic.
Sometimes there was channel interference or something for sure. I know this because sometimes I would stay up late at night to try to see boobies. I don't remember the reason or channel or anything, maybe it was on an adult channel and it mostly wouldn't come through because it wasn't being paid for? Back when you othersise had to find boobies in the woods on paper, or had a friend with a single father who worked a lot.
The world was a lot more simple back then. I can't imagine the stress of being a kid today.
برفک
barfak
literally "little snow"
Makes it sound cute. Instead of watching the news, I'll look at a little snow.
i've never interpreted that as little snow but "snow like". like لواشک isn't a small version of lavash it's similar to lavash.
Hmmm maybe you're right actually
Brazil: chiado.
Or "chuviscado", that could mean light rain.
Rice
Snowfall in finnish.
Drizzle
In québécois French, we would call it "neige" or "statique". Snow or static.
What caused this? Shit used to terrify me as a kid
