Nothing more fancy in Boston than "snow".

Yeah that's a common one, I wonder if it would seen as more or less commonly like that depending on how cold the local climate is.

California, here, and not any of the parts that get snow. (Closest we get is hail, which feels like it happens maybe twice a decade.) We called it "snow," too. :)

French: "neige" is used. Yes, it means snow.

It's χιόνι which means snow in Greece and we are not very cold.
