" He threw a handful of snow at her and it fell in a little white shower on her hair and he leanded over to brush it off."

Q : Which does " a little white shower" mean?

1) " a light white shower"
2) " some white shower"

[CP]

A normal show of rain or snow would ba a great deal of rain or snow falling out of the sky. But a handful of snow makes just a small shower, a little shower of white snow -- a little white shower.
