Here is an interesting site I came across, just had to share it with all of you!
Below is a quote from the site. ~ Guy--------------- "
• A skiff of snow in Manitoba and the Canadian West is a light snowfall, a gentle powdery dusting of snow. Skiff may be a British dialect variant of shift. The Oxford Canadian Dictionary suggests its etymology as “possibly from Old Norse skipta, = Old English sciftan shift (verb).” "
