snow - snowie

I know, that some nouns (or maybe adjectives) acquire some emotional meaning, when added with suffix "ie" , for instance, sweet - sweetie, cute-cutie.

Can I say "showie" to attach this emotional menaing to "snow"? Or this is not possible to convey the meaning by one word with this suffix?

My wish is to choose the word for "snow", that could mean exactly the emotional expression, not the quantity of snow or something like that. Sorry, if I do not make myself clear , thank you!

Hi Kedra, I know, that some nouns (or maybe adjectives) acquire some emotional meaning, when added with suffix. True, eg husband, hubbie. "ie" , for instance, sweet - sweetie, 'sweet' is normally an adjective, 'sweetie' is a noun.
