I rather like snow. It makes everything look beautiful and clean.
There are different types of snow.
There's the sort that is quite damp and dense. It makes a lovely crunchy sound when you walk on it and it's particularly good for snowballs and snowmen. It's also very heavy to shovel.
Today's snow is light and fluffy. It does not make snowballs but it is much easier to clear and fun to walk through.
Some snow falls as tiny white balls, sometimes it's flakes, other times the flakes stick together and large chunky bits fall from the sky. When it falls in flakes it's fun to catch them on your mitten and admire the pretty patterns. It hardly seems possible that each one is unique. When they land on your skin the heat from your body melts them away quick as can be, which is sad and somehow magic all at the same time.
When my auntie visited from Ireland she showed us photos of a snow storm they had. There were 3 inches of snow and she was stuck in her house for days. It made us giggle :)
Does it snow where you live?
