Snow's son in Orkneyinga saga and Hversu is Thorri 'frozen-snow'. The Hversu also gives Snow three daughters: Fonn 'Snowdrift', Dra?fa 'snowfall', and Mjal Mjoll 'powdered snow'. Sturlaugs saga (section 22) brings in King Snow of Finmark and his daughter Mjal who flies quickly through the air. The 'Hversu' also mentions in passing, when speaking of Snaer's distant descendant Halfdan the Old, that Snaer's life lasted three hundred years.
