Journal #26: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!! I absolutely love snow, especially when it has just fallen and it is sparkling white covering everything, untouched, brand new, and beautiful. I really love snow when there is a snow day, and there is no school, because it has snowed a foot. Then all day, all you have to is go out in the snow and play. There are so many things you can do in the snow. Following is a list:
  • Build a snowman
  • Build a fort
  • Make a snow angel
  • Go sledding
  • Have a snow ball fight
  • Make a big snow pile and jump in it
  • Make snow cones
  • Play hide and seek (Only works if there is at least a foot and a half of snow on the ground
  • Play snow tag (Something kind of exhausting)
  • And many other snow games
Snow is just great. Yes it can be slick, making driving difficult. Yes it is cold and wet, making it uncomfortable at times. But it still is just beautiful. I love winter, except when it is just plain cold, icy, with no snow. I like Christmas, and snow, and winter. That is me. Today it was supposed to snow, but seeing how the weather app lied on my iPod, there is no snow. Unfortunately. (Electronic weather devices are not trustworthy at times). But even though I am disappointed at this "no snow" day, I am still hopeful that it will snow. I am still hoping that frozen H2O (also known as snow for you non-science people) will fall within a couple of days. I love snow. As I have now said for about the fourth time or so. Some people hate it, but I do not. I love the white fluffy stuff, known as snow.

Well, now you know that I really like snow, since I have said that phrase about six times now. But more than snow, I love the atmosphere that comes with it. The hot chocolate smell of the house, the gorgeous environment and sparkling snow, the warm clothing, and just hanging around looking at Christmas lights, and waiting for Christmas break. That is why I love snow and winter.

  1. Lauren, good job with your blog (: It made me all happy inside to think about all those fun things to do in the snow. Remember that one time we played chalk the corners only in the snow so we had to retrace our steps a million times so they couldn't follow our footprints and then we had to hide for like 20 minutes in the freezing cold? Good times. Good use of examples of things to do in the snow! kbye.

  2. Thank you. I do remember that! We won! Of course we also "won" colds in the end, but hey, it was still a good time!

  3. I agree with everything you said! I love snow also. I liked the list that you had and it was organized very neatly and easy to read! I hope it snows tonight.

  4. The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
    Not a footprint to be seen
    A kingdom of isolation
    And it looks like I'm the queen
    The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
    Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
    Don't let them in, don't let them see
    Be the good girl you always have to be
    Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
    Well, now they know
    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn away and slam the door
    I don't care what they're going to say
    Let the storm rage on
    The cold never bothered me anyway
    It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
    And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
    It's time to see what I can do
    To test the limits and break through
    No right, no wrong, no rules for me
    I'm free
    Let it go, let it go
    I am one with the wind and sky
    Let it go, let it go
    You'll never see me cry
    Here I stand and here I stay
    Let the storm rage on
    My power flurries through the air into the ground
    My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
    And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
    I'm never going back, the past is in the past
    Let it go, let it go
    When I'll rise like the break of dawn
    Let it go, let it go
    That perfect girl is gone
    Here I stand in the light of day
    Let the storm rage on
    The cold never bothered me anyway
