Don's link below also has a sidebar on the old eskimo-snow story in which they actually give the alleged words and their definitions. Given that they refer to them as Eskimos, which I don't think is the modern terminology, it makes me wonder. So, is it true that there are actually 22 words for snow in their language? I found no citation in the article for those words.
I've called snow at least 22 different things in the past 48 hours (I tend to get more creative as I shovel).
