Se está juntando nieve, ¿eh?

Question

Se está juntando nieve, ¿eh?

No. Es escarchita.

juntarse - get together, haven't heard it like this. Is it like "Está cayendo nieve" or it sounds more like "se está acercando la nieve"

Se está juntando nieve

se está acercando la nieve

These feel the same to me. Does juntarse work like this. Some snow is "gathering" (around here) eh? (nah it's just a little frost, nothing to worry about)

Gracias.

Answer 1

The word "Juntarse" can mean to heap, to gather, to collect.

So, I'd say:

"The snow is starting to build up, huh?" .... "Naw, it's just frost."

Edit:

The R A E says that it can mean "Acumular" (Accumulate) which makes a lot more sense in your context.
