Looking at the snow quickly accumulating on the deck of his beloved Black Pearl Captain Jack Sparrow thought back to something in a story he'd once been told. About an amusing use for snow. So, being Jack, he decided to try it.
Stooping low he collected a handful of snow and crushed it, forming a ball shape. Hmm. Now who to try his experiment on? Ah! There was Gibbs, all fretting about entering the Bermuda Triangle, time to make him lighten up a little. Taking careful aim he lobbed it at the unsuspecting man. It hit with a satisfying splat on his shoulder and Jack grinned evilly. Quickly he lobbed two more, one at Mr. Cotton, the other at his parrot. By now his crew was becoming wise and endeavored to hide themselves wherever possible. Jack's grin widened, my, what a marvelous new toy.
Using his hat to scoop up snow he swaggered over to a barrel marked 'pickles', opened it up, and dumped it on the midget hiding within. Sauntering away from the fluent cursing he found himself facing Anamarie, snowball in hand, while he himself was — unarmed. Smiling his most charming smile he appealed to her. "Now Ana, you don't really want to throw that at ole Jack do ya?"
She smiled and wordlessly, threw it, striking him squarely in the face. Blinking at the stinging cold Jack merely smiled mischievously and tackled her to the snowy deck. The other crewmembers, emboldened by her action leapt onto the fray, resulting in a large pile up on the deck of the Black Pearl as the situation descended into a full out snowball fight. One enterprising fellow climbed the main mast and dropped snowballs on people below.

"Commodore! We're pulling alongside the pirates sir. They appear not to have noticed us."
Commodore Norrington nodded his acknowledgment. "Prepare the canonmph" He was cut off as a snowball unexpectedly hit him square in the mouth. "Where did that come from?" He demanded
"From the Pearl sir." Captain Gillette explained, ducking another snowball, "I suppose they must have noticed us after all."
"Commodore!" A lieutenant called, "The Pearl is readying her cannons!"
