"Col"
What is 'spin drift'?
Somebody else mentioned it on another thread and I haven't
come across the term before.

Col

Hi, Col,

Blowing and drifting snow. When the snow is dry enough, it blows around
like sand. When it hits your face, it feels like sand as well!

It is the very fine snow grain particles that seem to blow endlessly,
often from the crest of a drift.

It is also used at sea as the spray blown from the crest of a wave.

HTH,
