We’ve been hearing a song by this name playing in many different places prior to Christmas and some of us were “Dreaming of a White Christmas” as is sung in another song. Toronto received all this white stuff Boxing night – over ten inches. Beautiful and white, isn’t it?
I was out for a walk yesterday and took these snow pictures in the neighbourhood. Even the little angel on my porch is now sitting in snow. All the little children love the snow and can make their own snowman now. They also like to lie in the snow and make “snow angels.”
There are many evergreens on the street and the branches are heavy with snow. This is the kind of snow that I like. It’s crisp, fresh, and white. “Snow crystals are born in the clouds when water vapor freezes on a particle of dust, a floating bit of bacteria, or another solid material. When cloud temperatures are at the freezing point or below, and there is an ample supply of moisture in the air, ice crystals form around a core particle. As water vapor condenses and freezes, the complex pattern of a snowflake is born, one molecule at a time. A snowflake’s hexagonal shape is born at the atomic level. It is here that water molecules bond together into stable crystal structures.”
Whether you like snow or not, I hope you like the “Let it Snow” collage. “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
