Do you smell that? Mmm... Snow. The first snow of the season, any day now. What an amazing time of year. Oh, snow! There is just something so beautiful about snow... something magical and fantastical about it. Great things happen when it snows. And snow, one of the truly best things about it, is that it transforms the entire countryside. Something once brown and drab now becomes white and beautiful.
There's something almost poetic about snow. And not only that, but it gives one a great excuse to wear amazing clothes, coats, scarves, hats, gloves, and generally you can get away with wearing little to no makeup! Which is a definite plus...
Oh, the best is to wake up, Christmas morning, and the first thing you see is a perfect snow. Not that there is ever a non-perfect snow... but the type of snow I'm talking about is the type that as soon as you see it you want to run out the doors and join it, even if it is six in the morning.
Oh and the crispness of the air, it's so refreshing. Taking a walk through snow, oh is there anything better? Especially if it's late at night, maybe even with a full moon. The moon is so bright in the middle of the mountains, and when it's full, the light reflects off of the snow, and the world is brightened a little bit more. And walking on nights like these, lightens the heart a little bit too, which is always a plus.
And then there are the winter sports, which only come with the snow, downhill skiing, ice-skating, sledding, tubing, snow-mobiling, and of course, the great snowball fights. Oh the times that snow brings.
The first snow of the season, it brings the hope of all the wonderful times yet to come, there's nothing bad that comes with the first snow. And that is a beautiful, wonderful thing.
