Question

What is a freak snow?

Answer 1

Sounds like snow that has come unexpectedly, out of season. What is the sentence, or passage, within which the phrase appears?

Answer 2

Or is it just a freak snow because you live in Brazil. lol

Answer 3

It sounds like a word play on 'freak show'.

Answer 4

The phrase in which I saw the term (I guess that the term "one" is related to snow) was :" I woke up this morning to our first snowstorm of the winter (we had a freak one in the fall but no snow in November)". Can I relate the word "one" to snow or it means anything else?

Answer 5

So, it's a freak snowstorm, which makes more sense. It was a "freak" snowstorm because it came in the fall, well before you would expect the first snow. And notice that the out-of-season snowstorm is not counted by the narrator as the first of the winter.

Answer 6

Did anybody else notice the the poetic nature of this line?

I woke up this morning to our first snowstorm of the winter
(we had a freak one in the fall but no snow in November).

Guess it's just the poet in me. :)
