Snow storm

It's snowing again for the third time in twice as many days. I'm not a fan of snow, nor have I ever been. That comes from working in it and driving in it.
When I went outside I noticed how quiet it is. I live on a busy street but there is very little traffic because the pavement is covered with several inches of snow and ice. When I walked I noticed how snow tends to squeak when you step on it. Today was the loudest noise I heard.
The absence of noise makes me think the phrase "snow storm" needs to be replaced. I always associate storms with wind and noise, sometimes thunder. In my world, storms are not quiet. But that is not the case, not in my world and not right now.
