Slightly-snowed

Describing a condition where a surface or area has received a light coating of snow. This implies a minimal amount of snow accumulation, enough to be visually apparent but not significantly impacting visibility, mobility, or the general environment. It suggests a dusting or a thin layer rather than a substantial snowfall. The term focuses on the degree of snowfall, indicating a subtle and superficial alteration of the surrounding landscape due to the presence of snow.
