What is Phlumf?
Phlumf is that snow that piles up on trees. It's that simple.

About the origin of the word
When the phlumf reaches a critical mass, is blown by the wind or is melted by the sun it falls and makes a sound like "phlumf"

About the spelling
The sound phlumf makes has a definate "ph" sound in the begining. Some people have suggested that the "ph" should be at the end of the word. While I understand this arguement, the word "flumph" already has a meaning - it is a monster in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. As for "phlumph", well, that would just be silly.

Phlumf usage
Man, there sure is a lot of phlumf out there today. (note, to say "...there is phlumf on the trees..." would be redundant, although acceptable to give definition by context.)
Dude! that guy just got phlumfed.
Joe and Randy were concerned, it was now phlumfing heavily and they were becoming cold and wet.
