In Norse mythology, one common myth regarding the origin of snow is linked to the giant Ymir, from whose body the world was created. It is believed that the snow represents the tears of the frost giants, who weep for Ymir after his death. Additionally, some tales suggest that snow is a manifestation of the cold breath of the world serpent, Jörmungandr, as it coils around the earth. These stories reflect the Norse view of nature as deeply interconnected with their gods and mythical beings.
