You know that Indonesia doesn't have winter and it's always only rainy season and summer all year round. As an Indonesian citizen, I have never seen clearly how snow looks, I saw it for the first time in this post. It looks like shaved ice and is very white in color.
Yes, it is similar to shaved ice, but only when it's melting. Fresh snow is not so wet though and it's lighter. I hope you can experience snow one day.
