Snow Fall
The snow fell gracefully onto the ground flake by flake. As my family packed each bag into the car until they pressed tightly against the rear hatch, I tilted my head back towards the sun attempting to catch each fraill flake with my tongue. My entire family piled into the car slowly as I continued to stand motionless in the snow. Finally, forty minutes later when every mitten and hat had managed to make its way into the car, summoned by my parents who were anxious to get home, I slid into the car. Wiped out from the long weekend of skiing in Wisconsin, my entire family sat silently in their seats. The snow spattered down onto the windshield of the car. I watched the the wiper sweep the snow off the window. I looked outside only to see a swirl of white. My eyes locked onto each individual

Seriously, is everyone okay?” As my dad responded, I could hear the sorrow in his voice. Our car motor sputtered off and the car grew cold. Feeling tired and overwhelmed, tears slowly fell down my face. A police officer stopped to check on us and said a tow truck would arrive shortly. Apparently, there were numerous cars in the ditch all along the highway.
Our family sat and shivered as we waited for a tow truck to make its way to our location. An hour went by without any sight of the tow truck. Two more cars had drifted into the ditch and sat sinking next to us. Trucks continued to pass our location and each time my hopes sprung up thinking it was the truck coming to rescue us. Finally, a grey truck with spinning red lights slowed down next to the ditch. At last, someone to our rescue! My sister and I were ordered to go wait in the tow truck. Unaware of the fact I would be sitting in the cold for hours, I had changed into my pink Merrills. Snow seeped into my little shoes as I trudged towards the truck. My sister and I finally settled into the warm truck and watched in the rear view mirror as the truck struggled to pull our large SUV out of the

    I stood on the porch of the small home, hugging myself as I shivered against the furious wind.

    Walking out of the station I was pelted with a bunch of snow that was falling from the sky. For me that was interesting because it was the first time I’ve ever seen snow. The first time I encountered snow was unpleasant because it was cold and it made my fingers and toes numb. Walking toward the car was miserable because I kept falling on ice and I remember my brothers crying with laughter because they thought it was the funniest…

    My mother and I made the trek towards the lake, all bundled up and ready to slide down a hill on a long piece of plastic with foam on top. It had snowed about six inches, and I hadn’t been in snow that deep in half a decade so it was already a good day. I knelt down in this snow to pose for a picture with my dog, Teddy. My mother got his attention…

    We landed and as I stepped outside I felt a cold breeze blowing against me and a musty dry smell from all the snow and knew I would rather be here than anywhere else in the country. I was preparing to get on the ski lift. I finished the sour candy and still had the taste in my mouth and then tightened my knee brace. I made it to the top and strapped my feet on my new shiny black, green and blue snow board.…

    Every change in weather and rotation of seasons can be seen when standing on that front porch, but the storm still managed to take me by surprise. The late autumn winds circled rapidly around me as I gazed up at the fiery colours of the setting sun. I sat in a handcrafted mahogany rocking chair and sniffed the homey aroma of cedar that was coming from the porch’s wooden structure. Just as the radiant hues of the sunset faded to black, a violent layer of snow pounded to the ground. The clear skies and mild temperature of the day had given us no indication of the extreme snow storm. Thankfully, the porch provided me with a protective shelter and barrier from the elements. The roof above managed to block each thick flake of snow and jagged shard of ice. The frigid chill was becoming more intense as the snowstorm raged on so I swiftly grabbed onto the porch railing in front of me and relocated to the toasty interior of the log cabin. I ran over to the front window and drew back the red gingham curtains to watch the progression of the descending snow. The rust coloured clay flower pots holding blooming chrysanthemums now seemed out of place with the blanket of sparkling ice and snow covering them. I was just about to turn away from the action outside when I saw a faint movement through the depths of the rough tree trunks beyond the front porch. I was able to make…

    The warm rain still falling softly on my face. All of a sudden the clouds where right above me. It was one of the weirdest things that I have ever felt in nature. The air went from pleasantly warm to freezing cold. The cold front had hit. I knew what a cold front was but I had never felt one, until that moment. It felt like a wall of air-conditioned air moved across the mountain. I wrapped up in my blanket as the rain began to fall harder. I ran back to my warm car, but not wanting to leave the beautiful peaceful place.…

    Snow would sit outside and watch them for hours and hours every night, sitting on the barn rooftop, climbing up trees, and enjoying the stars with a mouse. In the winter, she would always wear a green piece of cloth like a scarf, to keep herself warm. But what she didn’t know was that the skies were watching her every night.…

    It was a cold morning as an elderly lady with long white hair, and a wrinkled face from years of a full life, looked out the large window in her kitchen as it rained mixed with big snow flurries. A late winter storm that had blown in early in the week is still hanging around. Mixed rain and snow fell and melted a little more of the ice and snow on the grass and the large barn in the distance. As the snow flurries descended majestically to the ground they would disappear as they hit. The cold rain that fell seemed to be in a race with the snow flurries to see which would hit the ground first.…
