niveous (adj)
Snowy or like snow.
"An imperceptible smile would then appear on the little nun's niveous face and a tender sentiment would be revived in her delicate heart on catching sight of her childhood friend."
--Mario Vargas Llosa, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter
I'm getting tired of all the niveous sidewalks around here. One of our neighbors (an absentee landlord) never shovels, and a dwarf glacier is forming in front of his house.
