This is a new word to me. I think it's a timely weird word, considering that it's winter in my country (the US) and in many other parts of the world too.
Chioni means snow in Greek.
I've included a link below that gives a detailed explanation of Chionophobia.
I am not afraid of snow, but the only thing I like about it is its beauty. I dislike the coldness that comes with it! 
Brrrr!!
Have you heard of this word? Do you know anyone who has suffered from Chionophobia?

No never. Have never seen snow so it seems magical in the pictures

Thank you @responsiveme. Snow is kind of magical to me too, even though I've seen it many times.

@responsiveme I'm glad to know that @responsive me. I love learning about places in the world that I've never visited.

It can be incredibly beautiful or incredibly frightening. I went for a walk last year in Manitoba and the temps were -39c... just wanted to see how it would feel. Luckily I didn't have this phobia because I made sure that everyone knew what I was doing and how long it would take me to get to the road and back! Glad I did it ;)

@BloggerDi I didn't know at the time that we would be moving and I would never have gotten the opportunity again... so I'm glad I did it too. It was bloody cold ;)

Thanks @Hate2Iron. I think what you did was very cool (pun intended)! If a person is curious about something, it's great to find out through experience if possible. You were wise in how you went about it.

Thank you @marlina. Very few people have Chionophobia. It's rare.

I have a couple of friends like you @Dena91. I wish winter wasn't hard on me. When I get very cold, I have so much trouble warming up and it feels miserable. I try not to be a crybaby though.

You're welcome @Courage7. We get some here in SW Missouri, but we haven't had much yet this winter. Thanks for your comment.
