Interesting usages.

First:  peDchoH muD, giving {muD} as the Subject of the "snowing".  Caught my
eye.

Second:  taDchoH Hemey, giving {He} as the Subject of "freezing".  Was it the
road which was freezing or some waterous substance thereupon?

Third:  {buq} does not have to have a solid Object.  The Object may be "It
was going to keep snowing a lot."  This also nicely covers the lack of a
Klingon infinitive.
