Seize the Moment of Snow

You know that feeling you get when you see those white fluffy things falling from the sky. When they build, and pile on the ground higher and higher. It's at that time where you close your eyes and breath deep because you know tomorrow is going to be a good one. Why? Because there is going to be a snow day, one of the most anticipated part of winter. No school, no work and all play for one whole day in heaven.

When you wake up in the morning and look outside your window, its like a the world has transformed overnight and everything is covered in a soft, blanket of snow. The world is beautiful, the sun hitting the ice crystles in the snow with an almost blinding light. Kids are running around screaming while throwing snowballs at one another, while others sit around their fire place with hot chocolate reading a book all snuggled up and warm. Canada means snow, which equals coldness and hopefully some snow days tucked into the monthly calender.

The winter is here, weather or not we like it we just have to grin and bear through it. Those days that we get off, make it better than ever and supply you with some refreshment from those regular school days. The snow is here, the day is off, so seize this moment of being snowed in at home.

  1. Emily, I get the exact same feeling, I love It when you see those flakes of soft white snow falling to the ground. Winter is a great time of year, but whats your favourite time of year? I hope that next year we might get a snow day! Great imagery in the first paragraph by the way, I love how you made it seem real when I was reading it.
