Not arguing against the idea that the Inuit have many more words for snow. But in english their are many commonly understood equivalents. Even more if you're into the snow sport scene that may reach Inuit levels.
Common words off the top of my head:
Snow on the ground: Snowpack, hardpack, powder, crust, crud, piste
Just shows the futility of this approach. Yes, you can find words, but do you use them? Is that a filly to you, or is it really just a horse?
An extreme example is the "it's called a zygyzgy of ptarmigans"-type alternative words for flocks of specific birds in English, which are basically made up and unused.
Those grouping words are silly trivia, but if you want to see folks using lots of specialized snow-words casually, just hang out on the skiing subreddit :)
(Well, maybe during the North American skiing season more than in late May.)
Yes, but the point is, some use them, most don't. The existence of the words means that someone using the language cared enough about the difference to distinguish - but nothing about how few or many they were.
Arguably the existence of niche words could even mean less, as in the flock words example, words that have more or less been invented as pure word games.
Common words off the top of my head:
Snow on the ground: Snowpack, hardpack, powder, crust, crud, piste
Falling snow: snowing, sleet, blizzard, snowstorm.
Drifting snow: snowdrift.
Frost: frost.
Modern scene lingo Pow, corduroy, granular, chunder, cornice etc
