Odd that you should mention this ...
As they've reccently had snow in the southern U.S, where that's a noteable
and rare event, youngsters interviewed DO refer to the thing as a "snow"
sled, apparently because snow is such a rarity.

But a snow sled??? Who calls it that? Sounds like the SkiDoo trailer.
Anyway, one of us invented the thing, so we can call it what we like!
Just a second! What's this I see...
