570 – Snow Vocabulary | Happy English Podcast

It’s about 9am here in NY when I am recording this podcast and it’s been snowing since about 9pm last night. Way back in Episode 260 we looked at some basic vocabulary about snow, but today I’d like to dive in deeper. This vocabulary will help you talk about snow and also understand the weather forecast in English on a snowy day. And speaking of forecasts, it seems the forecast for Covid-19 is “we’re not done yet” so remember to wear a mask and maintain good social distancing. Ok, now, let’s check out today’s English lesson.

Here are the example sentences from this episode. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or join my Podcast Learner’s Group for the transcript, live group lessons, and more.
