@translation check
is this ambiguous? or should it be unlinked from "It was beginning to snow."?

polish verb "padać" usually means rain but when you use it during winter it could mean snow

Very interesting!

I'll tag this sentence as Ambiguous.

I doubt whether the we can call this sentence ambigous. Since "padać" means "to fall", its meaning by definition comprises all forms of precipitation like drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.

I untagged it some moments ago.
I noticed when you told about 降. It was very explanatory. You shouldn't have deleted it
