“There’s one good thing about snow: it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbor’s.” -Clyde Moore
Snow is awesome. It makes winter a special and enjoyable season.
Many complain about snow: driving is harder, shoes and pants get wet, shoveling the walks is a pain. However, snow can not only make a cold winter bearable, but actually make you look forward to it too.
Here are 5 reasons to love snow.
1. Makes Cold Weather Enjoyable
If it’s cold, it might as well snow. The snow is beautiful and distracts from the low temperature.
When it’s freezing but all you see is dried-out grass and naked trees, you just wish for it to be warm. A cold sunny day just further teases.
But the snow is something gorgeous and unique to a cold winter. It completes the coldest season by making it remarkable from the other seasons. Heck, you could even be looking forward to winter because of snow.
2. Gives a Familiar Face a Makeover
Snow transforms your familiar world into something new and magical.
Familiar surroundings look completely different when covered with a fluffy white blanket. What otherwise looks the same throughout the rest of the year briefly becomes fresh and exciting.
A boring field becomes simplistic beauty – a canvas of white. Leaf-less trees are dressed up in a beautiful white outfit. Every house and building gets painted a uniform white. Mountains and trees receive awe-inspiring white tips.
The combination of snowfall + street lamps makes the nights brighter.
Even walking becomes more interesting. Every step in the snow is deliciously crunchy.
3. Skiing and Snowboarding
‘Nuff said.
4. On-Demand Playground
When it snows, you can go outside and play anytime, anywhere.
Make a snowman (or snowwoman, with 2 snowballs attached). Build a snow fort. Have a snowball fight. Whatever puts a smile on your face the fastest.
In your yard. On the sidewalk. At the park. On a campus or commons. Wherever gets you into the snow the fastest.
5. The Catchiest Non-Jamaican Dancehall Rapper
Who doesn’t like the catchy (and indecipherable) “Informer” by Snow?
Love Snow
Live where it gets cold in the winter? Do you ever complain about snow? Hopefully these 5 reasons remind you of why snow can be awesome, so that you can enjoy this unique season more.
When you focus on the positive aspects of something, they make your unchangeable circumstances enjoyable rather than dreadful. Rather than thinking about how snow hinders your driving or whatever, embrace the playground and beauty that nature offers you.
Are you somewhere where it’s snowing right now? If so, go out and enjoy the magical snow.
“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?” -J.B. Priestley
