Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I am clearly poorly educated having never heard of any of these - and having previously believed that "skelf" was the word for a small piece of wood, typically inserted painfully into a finger.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

When this came on the Today programme, raised as a question, I (sort of) correctly guessed that if the Scots had 421 words for anything, it would be forms of precipitation. They said on the show that it was words for different types of snow, but the examples included lots of snow-related things, e.g. snowballing.
