nevada

Definition

A snowfall or snowstorm: an event in which snow falls, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily. In some contexts, especially from Spanish, it can refer to a notable snow event.

Usage & Nuances

This is primarily a Spanish noun used in Spanish contexts and place names; it is not a common everyday English word. In English, learners will usually want 'snowfall' or 'snowstorm' instead. Be careful not to confuse it with 'Nevada,' the U.S. state name, which is capitalized.
