different shades of the Finnish snow ...

There is popular belief that Eskimos have about hundred words for snow. I did small internet research on this subject and found out, that this number is vastly exaggerated.
The Eskimo languages are divided into two main groups (Yupik and Inuit) and numerous dialects.
They include many words of the same origin but in slightly modified versions within dialects, what gives impression of larger number of words than there really are.
According to Wikipedia Saami people (living in far northern parts of Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia) use about 180 words for snow and ice. Ole Henrik Magga, Professor of Saami languistics from Saami University College in Guovdageaidnu, Norway, wrote interesting article: 'Diversity in Saami terminology for reindeer and snow' (here's link). He described there in English ca.90 Saami words for snow and ice. (and ca.140 relating to reindeers).
As to the Finnish words for snow and ice, someone has already done a big work to translate many of them into English what I have copied below to present complexity of this vocabulary. (here's the link to source I got it from):

Finnish military uniforms have always included the snow version (lumipuku), nowadays Finnish Defence Forces use snow trousers and jackets. There are also snow outfits for hunters.
