“It is pouring snow”
coll. 1.A storm that appears to be dumping that much snow, that it is almost ridiculous.
ex. Today, the snow was pouring over the car.
Origin: Made up colloqual: when experiencing the first Nova Scotian snowstorm (which happened to last a couple of days) and seeing the snow accumulate to a 20 or 25 centimeters, I was not able to explain this behaviour in regular Dutch. See also, ‘freezing rain’ (another weather concept I was not familiar with until I actually seen it).
