Fifty Words For Snow

Walking today: 3.8km

Swimming today: 1.25km

There's a terrific track by the incomparable Kate Bush from 2011 called "50 Words For Snow".

If you haven't heard the track (made with Stephen Fry) it's well worth a listen: 

The track was inspired by the fact that there are, apparently, 50 words for snow in the Inuit Eskimo language. There aren't 50 in English (although Kate invented a number for Stephen Fry to use on the track) and there aren't 50 in French either.

But there was a nice term that I liked on Méteo France this morning:

"Quelques Flocons" - literally "a few flakes"

Of course, having written about snow on the blog last week we had some snow today!

Just a few flakes.
