Snow - But not settling

It put down another 3cm or so. Lots of spin drift for the rest of the afternoon making some sections of road have visibility measured in feet and the drifts rebuilding across. What is 'spin drift'? Somebody else mentioned it on another thread and I haven't come across the term before.

Snow - But not settling
"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.
