How it's made

Source
continuous turbulent airflow carrying dry snow; independent pink-noise roar and white-noise hiss model large eddies and fine airborne powder, with no oscillators or sheltered gap whistles.
Body
broad 100-1800 Hz turbulence overlaps a moving 650-2600 Hz shear band; snow hiss occupies 1800-8500 Hz. Low-Q filters and a 38 Hz high-pass avoid pitched ringing and infrasonic drift.
Events
dense bipolar snow-grain impulses (900-5200/s), high-passed at 1300 Hz and low-passed at 4200-6800 Hz, make a fine abrasive texture rather than isolated hard impacts or rain drops.
Envelope
5-30 s gusts move pressure, shear frequency and snow density together above a permanent 40 percent wind floor; independent 0.6-1.7 Hz smoothed eddies ripple the snow without pauses.
Space
decorrelated stereo air and snow surround centred 38-155 Hz pressure; no baked-in reverb.
Variation
seeded gusts, eddies and noise streams vary independently. Presets emphasize a broad whiteout, close ground scouring, a distant dark storm front, or powder-laden crosswind.
