Baby strollers and umbrellas would be a lot more sturdy... or would they? If snow had always powerfallen, would life not have evolved for the condition?* All snowbelt animal life should have evolved to withstand a powerfall. Fewer wide animals; mostly tall and narrow. No moose antlers? Would deciduous trees build themselves differently?

Remember the Coneheads from SNL, Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd? If snow fell like that on Remulak (the Conehead homeworld -- I googled that shit), I assume a bullet-shaped top would've had an evolutionary advantage.

And can you imagine the lore of ancient peoples? The Tower of Babel, instead of simply reaching Heaven, might've been built as the human response to God having started a snowball fight. "God needs his face washed out!"

(*the above all said with a layperson’s understanding of natural selection)
