    That's what a lot of people call "snow nose" - a lot of dog's noses turn color in the winter. Most turn from a blackish to a grayish-pink color.

    Happens every winter to my Golden Retrievers. Then they go back to that beautiful black in the summer. Kay is right, sounds like "snow nose" to me!
