Snow Is Falling

Snow ls Falling

Night has come and snow is falling. It is quiet. The snowfalls without a sound. Look at the streetlight. The snow isfaling in front of it. It may fall all night.

The snow may fall all day. The snow gets deeper anddeeper. Lawns are white. Trees are white, and so arethe roofs of houses. Everything is covered. Everythingis white. Everything is quiet and cold.

It is always cold when snow falls. It is so cold thatwater vapor freezes in the air. This makes snowflakes. Let a snowflake fall on your mitten. Sometimes snowflakes sticktogether and fall as a cluster offlakes. They also fall as single flakes. Look at the single snowflake on yourmitten. Use your magnifying glass tomake it look bigger. Each snowflakehas six sides.

Sometimes snow is wet and sticky. When you walkin wet, sticky snow, you splash, and slip, and slide. Sometimes snow is light, dry, and fluffy. Walkingthrough light snow is fun. You can kick it into the air. You can scoop up a big shovelful of light, dry snow. You can run and roll and ski in the snow. You canslide on your sled. You can build a snowman.
