Dusting

between every
flake of snow
is a whisper
of your name
an echo
that softly
bounces off white
a gentle reminder
tenderly tickling
my skin

That's why a gentle snowfall brings such a welcome hush

There are whispers to be heard . . .

Sounds to me like the softest roar possible.
But then again it is winter, when softness is most appreciated.

I can remember well how quiet it can be when the snow falls.  You described this perfectly.
