Snow Creative Writing

Decent Essays
The snow always fascinated me as a child and that fascination has stayed with me into young adulthood. Something about it invariably grasped my attention, coerced me into halting whatever I was doing at the moment to watch the flurry of snowflakes with wonder. It was winter of 2013 and even though I was at the young age of ten, I had this queer feeling. It felt like there was something missing, as if there was an empty void inside me, I couldn’t pinpoint it. That feeling came by often, especially during that year, and I felt like nothing would ever get rid of that awful feeling. In the midst of one of those times, it began to snow. As the snow began piling up, the world reminded me more and more of a winter wonderland. As I said in the beginning

    The following article entitled “The Blizzard of ‘93 Seeking to Save Cities and People; Michigan Students, Caught in Appalachian Snow, Learn Lesson in Survival” was initially published in March 16, 1993, written by Isabel Wilkerson. Initially the article tells of a school venturing on their annual expedition to the mountains of North Carolina, thereby establishing a strong character-building maturity, and influence them for life. Despite their aspirations nature acquired different ambition through constructing a blizzard that meddled with the many students and guardians, culminating the atmosphere that enabled many of the vulnerable students who developed hypothermia. Despite this horrendous event it could have been prevented if those students…

    Dear Coach Williams, I have been a year long journey to the Tundra biome. It is very cold here and snows majority of the time. Summers bring wildflowers, but other than that it is mostly snow. This biome is found in the Arctic and has absolutely no trees and it does not get much rain here either. There is a lot of animals here: sheep, mountain goats, birds, grey wolves, polar bears, and very few other species.…

    Sai I feel perfectly content at Earl Bales Snowboard Park, a winter haven amid the concrete forest of uptown Toronto, and a perennial gathering ground for fifteen-year-old angry youths. Outside of school and home, it is the place where I have spent the most of my life. Its landscape is so familiar, I could navigate all its crests and troughs with a blindfold over my eyes. Much of what I learned in life, I learned here.…

    There's no use wasting time and panicking, instead, I think I'm going to find out what this FAYZ is caused by, Athena Smiths thought, and stepped outside. She could see and walk to the FAYZ boundary from her porch, and with her high intelligence, calculated the FAYZ to be 20 miles in diameter, same as last FAYZ. Then the center and cause of the FAYZ would be Theraman Lake? Theraman Lake must have toxic waste or some other form of nuclear waste.…

    Bloodied Snow of the Fallen October 10th, 1943 , near the forest off of a Nazi controlled town of Warsaw... it should have been easy... Life, such a fickle thing to live with, sometimes it goes well and others...this time, it went terribly wrong. The cold October night was a beautiful sight to see, stars peppered the sky as the moon’s light bathed the forest. I felt a cold shiver go through my body as I slumped against a tree, holding my abdomen in pain, wondering if this was it, if my life was finally over...sadly...…

    My first experience of snow was like a snow globe, except it seemed whoever was shaking it wasn’t going to stop. Snow Globes are a model of a scene surrounded by particles of fake, white matter resembling snow, but when shaken it turns to a magnificent snowstorm. While I have many snow globes at my house collected from my childhood, this was the first one I was in. I think a lot about the countless times my dad has told me of stories of his childhood. His numerous adventures of snow days, seasonal change, and free time in the backyard.…

However before the change, you flung a cane towards the window of a boy singing. That was me." Scrooge laughs bitterly and makes the letter shake in his wrinkled hand.…

    The sun shined through the window, disrupting me from my long slumber. After half an hour, I finally decided to get up from my bed to continue on my daily routine. I ate breakfast, took a shower, and put on my clothes. I decided to wear my new black and red robe since today is the last month of the year. The cold, thin air sent shivers down my spine by the time I got outside.…

    Entry One; Dominik The streets of New York were uncharacteristically quiet, a rare snow blanketing everything in blinding white. No one wanted to brave the harsh temperatures that had become this new world, a world tied with frost and decay instead of new growth and the smell of wet earth. The joy of having snow that didn’t become black, toxic mush within hours had faded when it didn’t stop snowing, when soon the whole nation, every nation, was covered with a layer unforgiving ice. Humans were fools, holding tightly to their belief that science explained all when in reality, there were supernatural forces at play.…

    I read an article recently about how snow absorbs sound waves and while reading it transported me back to memories of snow in my childhood and the complete blankness of sound that existed. It was as if the snow had removed my senses because everywhere I looked I saw white, every surface I touched was cold, and the only sound I heard was myself. Playing in the snow would always start out a noisy affair. Snowmen and their snowball wars would rise out of the childhood playfulness of my brother and me, but almost always these days of white nothing would end with me alone, in the snow, talking to myself. I’ve always talked to myself.…
