It depends on what part of Texas you're from. Some areas almost never get snow and other areas get routine and massive snow. I grew up and we got snow that stuck on the ground about once a decade.
In this area, we really didn't get much, if any, snow. We got sleet and freezing rain causing very hazardous conditions. While I know the Inuits have about 14 different words for various types of snow, the closest I've seen to what you describe is called Snow Grains. It looks a bit like grains of rice and because of it's structure, doesn't pack together or melt very quickly like typical snow. However, it does eventually melt and shouldn't burn, so unless those are exaggerations, it's not an exact match.
Would a Texan really know snow when they see it though?
