Siejka

Siejka refers to a specific type of continuous heavy snowfall, often characterized by small, fine snowflakes that are densely packed together. The term is primarily used in Polish meteorology and vernacular language. It describes a weather phenomenon distinct from a typical blizzard or snowstorm, emphasizing the consistency and fineness of the falling snow. Siejka can significantly reduce visibility and create slippery conditions. It is often associated with cold temperatures and relatively calm winds, which allow the fine snowflakes to accumulate rapidly. While not necessarily indicative of large total snowfall amounts, siejka's persistence can lead to substantial accumulations over time.
