Last Monday I had snow on my birthday (I have never experienced snow that late in the season), and today it's 81 degrees. WTF?
Today it's in the 40's and yesterday (or two days ago) it was in the 80's and 90's....
I am quite confused as well >.<"
it was -30 degrees Celsius with a wind chill yesterday, but now its warmed up to about -15...so much for global warming
That's because you live in an ice box
naw, it gets pretty warm in the summer. We Canadians just spread the roomers you hear about us

Climate destablization ftl. We had 0 to 60 and back down in a period of a day earlier this winter.
New England is weird like that (supposedly a few years back my family up in Mass. got snow in June).

I remember that! I was up there for a funeral, and it was so creepy to see it snow! We took it as a bad omen. Later, I met someone who was attending a wedding there on the same day and they took it as a good omen. I wonder what it was...

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of this precipitation is called snowfall.
Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.

He already knew it was snow; he was wondering whether it was a good omen or a bad omen

He asked *what* it was, not *which* it was
That would've sounded weird if he said "which" instead of "what" (goes along with normal speech pattern; although "which" would be the proper word to use here, but then again there are too many grammar rules to keep up with in the English language
)

That goes back to normal conversation flow in America.

What kind of wacked out English do you use? Saying "what" sounds weird, saying "which" sounds natural.
"Some said this, some said that, I wonder which was true" <- natrual, sounds right, daily speech
vs.
"Some said this, some said that, I wonder what was true" <- lol wut? + people look at you funny
@Kerm: Why thank you (hey, at least I used Wikpiedia and not simple.wikipedia )

Snow is the frozen ice crystals of rain. When clouds are full they pour out rain but in cold weather ice crystals fall out as soft little flakes that are called snowflakes. The word snow comes from an older version of English from a long time ago called Old English.

It depends on the context (in your example it flows better to use which; further up in this thread it sounds natural to use what).
