Chionis Island ( ) is an island lying south of Awl Point, Trinity Island, in the Palmer Archipelago.
 The name Snow Island was used for this feature by whalers in the area in the 1920s, but has not been used on any published map.
 Since Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands lies just across Bransfield Strait, a new name has been substituted for this feature.
 Chionis Island was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 after the sheathbill ("Chionis albus"), a common bird in this region.
Eriocephalus africanus is a bushy shrublet indigenous to South Africa.
 It has a wide distribution in the Western and Eastern Cape, and in Namaqualand.
 The plant has several common names in various languages.
 It is known as the Cape Snow Bush or Kapokbossie (the Afrikaans word for "snow bush"); other common names refer to its fancied resemblance to rosemary, for example "African rosemary" or "Wild rosemary" (Afrikaans "(wilde) roosmaryn").
 The superficial resemblance is in the foliage, which, though softer and not glossy, grows in a habit similar to that of the common Mediterranean rosemary, although the two species are not related.
McArthur Lake is located in Northern Ontario, about 40 km south of the city of Timmins.
 It is located about 10 km south southeast of Papakomeka Lake.
 The lake consists of 13 islands, three main peninsulas and three main bays.
 The lake lies in Timiskaming District.
 Over 20 camps and cottages are built on the west side of McArthur Lake.
 Popular sports here include fishing for pickerel (walleye) and Northern pike as well as kayaking or boating.
 Blueberry Island is the home to the only blueberries in the lake's region.
 The climate is very harsh; very few deciduous trees are found here.
 Most of the waterfront is rocky.
 The lake closes usually around October and re-opens when the snow and ice melt.
 The lake is approximately 1.5 km², and is said to reach a depth of roughly 35 feet, near Blueberry and Maziic islands.
 The average water temperature ranges from 25°C in July, to a chilling 14°C by October.
 Cedar and poplar trees are common here, as well as balsam fir and various types of pines. Various kinds of wildlife include: rabbits, bluejays and chickadees.
Painted Dog Conservation was founded in 1992 by Dr Greg Rasmussen, for the protection of the painted dogs ("Lycaon pictus") and their habitat.
 Painted Dog Conservation works to engage and incorporate local communities in protecting painted dogs in Zimbabwe.
 The painted dog, or African wild dog, was once common in Africa with estimates of over half a million spread among 39 countries.
 Current estimates put their numbers at about 3,000 only found in Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa.
 Since PDC's creation, Zimbabwe's wild dog population has increased from 400 to 700 individuals.
 Painted Dog Conservation is partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Network.
Snow Dogs is a 2002 American Northern adventure comedy film directed by Brian Levant, and starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Coburn.

 The film is inspired by the book "" by Gary Paulsen.
A winter storm warning (SAME code: WSW) is a statement made by the National Weather Service of the United States which means a winter storm is occurring or is about to occur in the area, usually within 36 hours.
 Generally, a Winter Storm Warning is issued if the following criteria, at least, are forecast: usually between 4 in to 7 in or more of snow or usually 3 in or more of snow with a large accumulation of ice.
 In the Southern United States, where severe winter weather is much less common and any snow is a more significant event, warning criteria are lower, as low as 1 in in the southernmost areas.
 (Thus, as you go from south to north the necessary accumulations get higher.)
 A warning can also be issued during high impact events of lesser amounts, usually early or very late in the season when trees have leaves and damage can result.
 Winter Storm Warnings are issued when winds are less than 35mph; if the storm has winds above this wind speed, it becomes a blizzard warning.
A white Christmas refers to the presence of snow at Christmas; either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day depending on local tradition.
 This phenomenon is most common in the northern countries of the Northern Hemisphere.
 Because December is at the beginning of the Southern Hemisphere summer, white Christmases there are extremely rare, except in Antarctica, in the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island, and in parts of the Andes in South America.
 The Irving Berlin song, "White Christmas", sung by Bing Crosby from the film "Holiday Inn", is the best-selling single of all time and speaks nostalgically of a traditional white Christmas.
