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.
