Upside Down Word Puzzle
$begingroup$
Think of a 4-letter word for something seen in the winter (lowercase). Turn it upside down, and you'll name a device used with this thing. What is it?

I am getting really frustrated that I can't figure this out!!!!

Help: do you have a source for this puzzle? Before everybody closes it for not being correctly attributed it might be good to add this.

Is it
plow/mold?
Explanation
On a snow plow there's something called a moldboard, which is the big curved part. From a few web searches I couldn't find any reference to a moldboard being called simply a mold, but there are cases where it's broken into two words; I could see some people calling it a mold. A moldboard is also made using a mold, so maybe that's what it's referring to?

Possibly,
wool, which people wear in winter,
which inverted becomes loom, a device used for weaving.
