Heavy Snow

Today's snow was heavy. Yesterday it was predicted that it was going to snow today, and it did, so it was not a surprise. The cool thing was, the blizzard continued for almost a whole day and covered Vancouver, once again, with soft white snow. People rushed out immediately after snow to play in the snow, including me and my friend. Yep, the snow was plenty and untouched so it was ideal for making snow balls. Talking about snow balls, we had a really cool snow ball fight as well. However the heavy snow resulted in numerous traffic jams, and my friend was late this morning because of it. It was hard for her to walk all the way from her house to the school so her dad gave her a drive everyday, and of course, I missed the days when we used to walk together to school. As you can see, the heavy snow can be fun but sometimes annoying as well. Overall, I am still pretty satisfied with the snow because it is what we are suppose to have in the winter.

It's Snowing!

Finally! The first snow of the year! When I woke up this morning, the whole city was covered with a layer of soft, white snow. Actually, I already knew it was snowing, because last night the sky was really pink and it was snowing pretty hard. But hey, it was morning, so I quickly put on my coat and finished my breakfast, then grabbed my ski-doo board and took my parents to Winona Park. The thing I love about Winona Park is that is has steep slopes which becomes great ski-doo hill when it snows. When we arrived there, boy, the park looked amazing. It was so quiet, because it was still early in the morning and people haven't waken up yet. We took some great photos, and then I quickly hopped on the ski-doo board and slid down the hill, laughing as I went down. My parents were tempted to try the ski-doo board as well, so they got on. My mom had a thrill ride but my dad accidentally got off the board while it was still sliding and rolled down the hill. My, was that HILARIOUS! We ski-dooed for about an hour, then I went down the hill and decided to build a snowman. My parents helped me with the snowman by transporting all the snow to my side using the ski-doo board. I made this snowman with a fat body and a tiny head, and its hands were posed in a waving position, as if it was greeting someone. After all these thing I was wet (from the snow) and tired, so we went back home. That wasn't bad for the first snow of the year!
