Whiter than Snow

They are calling for snow here today, March 2. I think I have finally had my fill of snow this year, I can't believe I am saying this. As Joey and I were riding this weekend in the snow, I had one of my weird questions pop in my head. When did the folks of the Bible see snow first, It talks about how we can be whiter than snow. But Noah, had never seen rain till the flood. I know it doesn't snow much in Jerusalem.(I don't think) In 2 Samuel it talks about going out on a snowy day to kill a lion. Job talked alot about snow. Psalms and Proverbs talks about snow.The New Testament has 3 verses with the word snow in it. This is just one of the ways my mind goes in directions with no particular reason, just curiosity.
