Etymology
The word 'snowy' originates from Middle English 'snewy', derived from the Old English 'snāw', meaning snow. The suffix '-y' denotes a characteristic or quality related to snow. The comparative form 'snowier' simply follows the pattern of forming comparatives in English, where the suffix '-er' is added to an adjective to denote a higher degree of that quality. Snow, as a weather phenomenon, has profound cultural and ecological significance, influencing not only the climate and habitats of various regions but also the linguistic evolution seen in terms associated with cold weather. The use of 'snowy' and its comparative 'snowier' reflects a long-standing human interaction with snowy environments, particularly in regions where snow is a common seasonal occurrence.
