Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let It... Uh-Oh!

Snow, Fun.. or Dangerous

I looked from my frosted window as the snow fell leaving just a white blanket ready to be shoveled in one place the next morning. However the next day I was left to work, and the winter solstice is a good thing? Shoveling the snow off from our driveway with my cousins took forever, suddenly we looked up just to greet ourselves to the rain, but that didn't stop work. When we were done, we rushed back in the house about to drink some hot chocolate.

Snow... it has it's advantages and disadvantages, you get to miss school (It's snowing... 10 day break, thanks weather) have fun, but also you have to shovel hard,  and your flight might be delayed ruining your holiday.

However, do you know how snow is formed? Snow is a type of precipitation within the Earth's atmosphere in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of multitude of snowflakes that fall fro

m the clouds. It has a open and soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.

You know those snowflakes you see in cartoon, are they really like that? They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, snowflakes are small ice crystals that fall from Earth's atmosphere, two crystals join together and supercooled cloud droplets' freeze in order to make a real snowflake.

Since February 2006, New York has not had this much snow, making this blizzard into the biggest snowstorms ever.

Kids may love snow, but adults wish it wasn't even there. Why? Well, there are so many answers to that, like the fact that they are stuck in the snow shoveling in their big puffy jackets. Also power goes out during a blizzard meaning your digitally dead for the next who knows when in your house with no heat. There's no way to get out of the house, like throwing the garbage (even if it stinks) and getting food. There are also those terrifying thing called the flu, with the coldness roaming in the air, you may never know when you catch it or when it catches you.

Here some ways to be prepared in the winter:

1. Keep canned food that needs no refrigerating and no cooking. You never know when the power goes out.
2. First aid kit and medicine, and also use battery powered tools (such as flashlight, radio, and lamps...etc.)
3. Keep extra batteries
4. Keep extra necessities such as blankets, clothes, food, etc.
5. Keep bottled water

Here are some tips to stay healthy:

1. Stay away from sick people at least 3 or 6 feet.
2. wash your hands before touching your face or eating.
3. eat healthy and try to eat more vitamin D.
4. Be sure to get enough sleep, without it you may have a hard time shoveling.
5. Exercise, it helps make your body stronger. If you do you won't have back aches anymore.

The snow covers the trees' making it look like a beautiful scenery. It looks like a "Winter Wonderland", but is it really? Is it worth it? How did you spend your snowy break, or even sunny break? How do you feel about snow, is it worth it? What do you like about snow, and what do you hate? Please answer my questions in a form of a comment. Have a Snowy Day! :)
