Why I Love Snow

Why I Love Snow

In honour of the melting snow (I hate slush).

1.  It's beautiful
It really is. One of the things I love doing in winter is to watch the snow fall. It's really calm and peaceful-looking. The little pieces of white fluff gently (or sometimes not so gently) drift down from the sky, and everything gets coated in a soft layer of white. It makes the scenery looks amazing. 

So pretty :)

2. SNOW DAYS

Technically, school is never actually cancelled unless the storm is so big that the power goes out or something, but school buses can still be cancelled if there's enough snow. And then us school bussers don't have to go to school!! =D

Me when I find out it's snow day.

I remember this one snow day back at my old, old school when I was in grade 1. A lot of people didn't go to school that day, but I did because I lived really close. Because my teachers were awesome, that whole day we basically just watched a movie, played in the snow and had free time. No work at all. I know the other grade 1 class actually got to eat popcorn or something, but whatever. It was still awesome :)

3. Sports
Specifically tobogganing (does that count as a sport?), snowshoeing and skiing, both downhill and cross-country. Though the only times I do any of these is at school, and my school doesn't actually have downhill skis. While I'm glad that we have skis at all - cuz I know that a lot of schools don't - honestly, going downhill skiing with cross-country skis kinda sucks. You get like no control and you end up falling A LOT. Or maybe it's just me. Lol ;)

Also, one down point is that wearing snowpants sucks. Combined together with a coat, they always make me look like a marshmallow. So flattering. 

P.S. Is "lol" a word yet? And what about "funner"? That one should definitely be a word. Just saying.

P.P.S. I was right - I'm still not done my homework :(
