Field snow is a type of snow that accumulates in fields and other open areas. It is usually composed of large, soft flakes that are easily moved by the wind. The term 'field snow' is derived from the Italian word NEVE, which means snow. NEVE is also used to describe a type of snow that is especially light and fluffy. Field snow is often used for skiing and snowboarding, as it provides a softer surface than other types of snow.
