tripler 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Is there another word from "dump" as in a big snowfall? I feel silly saying dump, especially to non-skiers/boarders. Heavy snowfall, blizzard, just doesn't quite convey the same idea. Something like "deluge" but for snow. Link to post Share on other sites

Sciclone 2 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think a dump is the most apt description. You could say bucketing, as snow is colder version of rain (well not really, but non-skiers/sb's don't know that). Perhaps torrent of snow? Puke doesn't sound right to me... We used to say the surf was puking years ago, and they really aren't related. Plus puking sounds like vomiting, which is a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 but I prefer snowing by the shed load Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 i don't mind "puking" but it has the same problem as dump, of being slang. Also while puking means the same thing as dumping, you can't say "Hakuba had a huge puke last night". Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see the problem with 'dump', myself. If non-snowfreaks don;t understand, that's THEIR problem, not ours! We understand only too well! Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 not so bothered if they understand or not but I feel silly saying dump because it means poo. Link to post Share on other sites

Also while puking means the same thing as dumping, you can't say "Hakuba had a huge puke last night". well "dump" has come to be slang for shitting, but it just means throwing away a lot of stuff at one time. As in the Town Dump. "Puke" just means spewing right? don't think that has a legitimate meaning! Its Dumping!!! or soon will be! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Puking sounds like technorama chuck-chunder, like spewing doesn't sound right to me. Are we all right here ? This is the "haven't got anything to do" make conversation, sheer desperation ... Go to sleep and dream about it state Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 i'd like to suggest blanket as an alternative to dump. Hakuba had a huge blanket last night. It's blanketing, it blanketed. I'll start using it myself this season and see if it catches on. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 So, just stick to dumping, puking, shed loads. It's fun. And very soon, I'll be in the midst of a puking, dumping heaven. Link to post Share on other sites
