Relating to snow

Today's A.Word.A.Day was "nival": Of, growing in, or relating to, snow.

I've never heard or seen this word in conversation or print, and I live in a place where the incidence of snow is high.

You usually don't hear words like nival in this country. Americans tend to branch out into the more challenging and erudite synonyms such as: 'snowy','very snowy',and 'a lot of snow'. Cheers and here's to hoping your recovery is coming along well.
