Snow or snowfall has created a culture of its own. It has influenced people to adapt themselves to snow or snowfall, even in extreme situations. People also celebrate snowfall in different ways -- by skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, snowballing, snow-writing, snow-angeling and the like.
