A doubt.
It seems that une boule de neige doesn't follow the pattern of un sac en/de cuir. Is that right?

Bonsoir Rene,
une boule de neige --> a snowball (a ball of snow)
There does not seem to be a valid reason one could not state «une boule en neige», the biggest hurdle with that locution; however, would be in using it verbally. Une boule de neige sounds more aesthetically pleasing when pronounced.
Bonne chance.
