Not so, necessarily. Snow feathers and scatters at the edge of the weather.

There is a point at which the snow ends, no matter how gradual or abrupt the change is.  Otherwise, it would necessarily be snowing everywhere at once.

Tell us about your experience 9 years ago.

earlier in the day i witnessed a strange sight in my yard and discovered that it was snow that was falling on one side of my yard and not snowing on the other side in a straight line and i noticed after staring at it for some time that not 1 flake passed across the line that went straight down my yard and continued down my neighbors yard , so that scared me because it wasnt natural or made sense since there was not complete absence of moving air and so flakes of snow should have randomly passed over the line though did not , so that observation was more alarming than the line itself . so i was really scared and believed for several hours that it was some kind of man made disaster but then later i became convinced it was God because i started having new thoughts that i didnt recognize and inspiration that i recognized as very different than my own thoughts and a feeling of certainty that it was from God although i didnt consider the possibility that it was from God the came into my mind and i just had a feeling of being very sure without a doubt without considering it . if that makes sense lol and no i wasnt smoking anything when this happened .

Obviously you've never been to Buffalo, NY.

Because I have driven in and out of snowfall multiple times, when entering or leaving that city.

EDIT:

Unless, of course, you live on the edge of Buffalo, and your yard straddles the city limits.

Then, all is explained.

Well, yeah ... But pedantry bores me.

She wrote of a clearly demarcated edge to the snow, you said that it has to be that way, and it's not really the case. Now, if you meant a feathered edge when you wrote that, it wouldn't be relevant to her point. And if you didn't, 'tis much easier to simply say so and move on.
