Snow Writing When this project first came to my attention, I thought long and hard about what I would use to write and write on. I was sure I could come up with something creative and different. After a half hour of deep, deep thought, I came to the conclusion that I was going to take the easy way out and just write in snow with my finger. I was ashamed, but it needed to be done. It’s hard to imagine walking up to a large open field in the bitter cold to write or read the latest Hunter
The Snow Games Let me tell you a tale of three unique snowflakes. It started like this… I was created by a woman named Elsa. She made me into a snowman named Olaf. There I meet two snowflakes named Alyssa and Haleyanna, but most snowflakes just called her Haley. Two elderly snowflakes named Christian and Mitchel said that evil snow was terrorizing a dimension that nobody knew how to get to! Everyone looked around and saw the adventure in Me, Alyssa, and Haley’s eyes and knew instantly that we
A Winter Snow When I think back upon the memories of my childhood, I clearly recall a specific winter afternoon at my grandmother’s house. It is an especially cold day, I remember. I am dressed in two pairs of thick socks, two sweatshirts, a heavy winter coat, and my bright pink rain boots. I am nine years old, and to me, winter snow is pure magic. As I step out onto my grandmother’s back porch, I remember losing my breath, not only from the bitter cold, but also from the captivating scene. I am
What kinds of snow crystals fall from the sky? Before answering this, it is useful to define what a snow crystal is. Types of frozen precipitation include: Snow crystals -- Individual, single ice crystals, often with six-fold symmetrical shapes. These grow directly from condensing water vapor in the air, usually around a nucleus of dust or some other foreign material.

Old mists may be banished, that is true, but the alien chemical agent forms another mist maintaining the separation of the 'I' from the true experience of the One.1 This passage comes from The Snow Leopard, by Peter Matthiessen. In this passage Matthiessen describes what he has learned from the experiences he had with hallucinogenic drugs, such as ayahuasca, LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin.

Love in a Snow Globe Packing for college is a normal and exciting event in many newly turned legal adults’ lives. It is the first time they get to live with peers in place of nosy parents. Some items are packed are out of necessity, such as clothes, and others are to decorate the bland white walls and wooden desks to show some personality, which are all the things every teenager tells their parents they “need” to bring. When it was finally my turn to pack for college, there were many boxes
about snow and what it truly is. Especially in a place like Colorado, snow is not unheard of and many people do not know what it truly is even if they are accustomed to it. Snow is common, people step on it and don’t react to it much if it is falling from the sky either, but why aren’t people alarmed that white flakes are falling from the sky? Snow is a mystery to many but it is just another element that doesn’t seem to have an impact on the human body other than being cold, so what is snow, how is
Snow Storm Baby The year was 1992; a cold December arctic wind had brought a chance of snow to the area. It was the weekend and time to relax after a long hard week at work. The weather service had predicted several inches of snow to blanket the region by the next day. Not to worry: it was the weekend and traveling was not a necessity. At the time, my wife Jeanne was pregnant with our soon-to-be daughter Tahlyn. We had waited eight long months for her to arrive, and finally her due date was
going to be. I had to determine whether I would go to work or stay home. My heart sank as I pulled back the living room curtains and saw that the snow had already started to fall. I decided that it would be in my best interest to call into work and prepare for the several hours of back-breaking shoveling that faced me during the day. As I watched the snow pile up I decide it was time to get dressed and get outside to find the shovel and get ahead of what was to be a significant snowfall. I hated to
The term snow is usually restricted to material that fall during precipitation in the form of small white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapour of the air at a temperature of less than 0°C and has not changed much since it fell. A fall of snow on a glacier surface is the first step in the formation of glacier ice, a process that is often long and complex (Cuffey and Paterson, 2010). The transformation of snow to ice occurs in the top layers of the glaciers and the time of the transformation
some events will ever happen to them -- until it does. It was a snow day, but I had a package that had just come in the mail. To get my package I had to persuade my mom, I did! I was now on my way but had to go slow due to the icy roads. I’m not sure how it happened or why; but on my way to get the package, it never occurred that this wasn’t a good idea at all: I never made it all the way there due to the wreck. Although it was a snow day, I still wanted to go get my package. I had just found that
the large snow globe, admiring the precise detail of the miniature town inside. It showed the whole town just as it was today. Meyer’s, Target and Kohl's were all lined up as usual. Everything was the same. Except for one major detail. One, it wasn't filled with water and two, on the west side of town, instead of the store I was currently in, there was a golden gate. It had a tiny keyhole where you could unlock and open it. You could swing open the gate and take whatever was in the snow globe out

In his palm held a small package. "They're pomeraisins, strange name." Naruto continued his raid through the snow poffs (ending unsuccessfully) until he reached the very last one, his hand penetrated through the delicate snow shell. 'Since when was snow this hard and...' He knocked on it. 'Metallic?!' "Woof-woof
brush against my face as I look around and see what is before me. I look into the distance and see rolling mountains dancing across the scenery. They are painted in mesmeric reds and different shades of orange all reminding me of an enthralling sunset. Snow falls, literally everywhere covering these rocks not revealing how massive they truly are. The whole scene reminds me of a Christmas card. It captivates your soul. I had was one single destination on my mind and I took a chance and it led me to Colorado

Douglas Stewart’s radio play, The Fire On The Snow, first performed in 1941, presents the story of Captain Falcon Robert Scott’s tragic expedition to the South Pole. In the radio play, Stewart skilfully positions the audience to accept the dominant reading of the play by showing the dominant discourse: that heroes’ nobility depends on their action and ordinary people can become heroes too. Stewart also positions the audience by using the role of the Announcer as a mask for himself to give comments
