What does snow do?

No snow here - a beautiful bright sunny day

But the possibility made me think of the different words used for when the snow falls and hangs around.

I grew up in the SW, where we say 'it's pitching'
I've lived in the Midlands, where I think I remember 'it's sticking'
In Scotland my OH's relatives say 'settling'
I think when I was on the Wirral it was 'laying'

Is it regional, or just random? What do you say.

I say laying, i'm from up north

Im in the Wirral DM and I say "sticking"- although I am Liverpool born and bred so that may be why

and by the way we havent even got so much as a snowflake here at the moment

hmm, i say its settling and im from the south. what the hell does pitching mean

Oi don' know m'dear. It's just what they learned oi down in Zummerzet!

I say it's lying, and at the minute we have about 3 inches of the stuff, it came down in just over a hour and a half and it has started snowing again.

We say Pitching round yer in Zummerzet

Strange thing though....Woke up a 4ish am and it was covered in snow outside....woke up this morning and there is no trace at all
Wierd

we just say "lying" here

Bristol here and we say 'pitching'

I say 'sticking' here in sunny Lancs
