was/were much snow

[JEic]

There was/were much snow outside.

I googled and some said "was" while others said "were".

I think it should be "was" because snow is uncountable.

I agree with you. We say "snows" only to refer to snow in different locations.

Only was is correct, because snow is considered as a singular thing.

Note that it would be more natural to say a lot of instead of much. We don't tend to use much in positive sentences.

There was a lot of snow outside.
