Just heard from a colleague that there’s a “skiff” of snow out there.
I have heard this term before in relation to a light snow. Turns out skiff means “small boat.”
But then I stumbled into a online discussion of the very word in relation to snow. Someone used “skiff” of snow. Another person thought the correct term was “skift.” But that, apparently, isn’t a word. So is it skiff, skift or fill in the blank?
