A shy snowflake..

Today is a holiday in Italy and the forecast was that we would wake up to 15cm of snow. I had not expected to be so excited about it, but when I woke up during the night I found myself trying to interprete whether the light filtring through the blinders was brighter due to snow. In the morning I woke up to a disappointing sleet, and although by now (dinnertime) there is a thin layer of white slushy stuff on the ground, it hasn't been quite the weather I hoped for! I wanted to catch crystals with my camera today, and I spent quite some time chasing them, but the conditions were just not right! So I dis some reading on snow instead.
I have always thought that the Inuit language had the highest number of words for snow in the world, but now with internet I find out that Samis have three times more words for snow and of all languages the Scottish one appears to have the richest snow-vocabulary of all languages with an impressive total of 421 words! I wonder which scottish word would apply for a stellar snowcrystal that timidly hides within a big slushy irregular form snowflake?
