Studying and continuing the research traditions of Ivan Ohiienko in the records and determination of the peculiarities of Ukrainian folk phraseology, its role in the fi xation and preservation of ethnic cultural memory, linguists in the theoretical jus-tifi cation and practice of describing phraseological units study phraseological units in a wide linguistic and cultural context – the interconnection between language and culture. In the article the peculiarities of use and spatial distribution of phraseo-logical units with the component snow based on the materials of modern dictionar-ies of dialect speech are studied.
