Cultural Tip
In most of Latin America snow is rare, so native speakers in countries like Argentina, Chile, or Mexico will only use this phrase in the Andes or high‑altitude regions. In Spain, you’ll hear it in the Pyrenees or Sierra Nevada. Keep the tone informal when speaking with friends, but switch to a more neutral register on the news or with strangers.
