Snow is…

Snow is coming… (a video paying tribute to snow and how we around Toronto once viewed a storm)

As a winter storm approaches, paying tribute or complaining about snow in a descriptive paragraph/poetry is appropriate. 

Snow is the construction of forts at recess with my closest friends.  Snow is brushinhg the car off early in the morning.  Snow is white. Snow is shovelling. Snow is fluffy, icy, and crunchy when anyone walks on it.  Snow is making smiles on Kindree faces.  Snow is kids outside and away from video games.  Snow is beautiful when falling at night.  Snow is silent and peaceful.  Snow is honking horns and loudness during traffic jams.  Snow is white covered roofs.  Snow is making us all think, even for a moment, about warm days in July. Snow is mittens, snow pants, toques and winter boots.  Snow is the new meaning of a nice cup of hot chocolate.  Snow is Canada...whether we like it or not.

    HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO

    Snow is a Winterland. Snow is a happy place. Snow is a big soft blanket, that covers the ground al over the world. Snow is the time when we take out our mugs and poor hot chocolate with little marshmelllows, on top.
    Snow is a place where angels come out on the floor. Snow is a place where family gets together. Snow is when you wish it is Summer. Snow is our extreme cold weather. “Snow is CANADA wether you like it or not 😛 .

    So yes this is yeah and i copied the ending of yours cause i liked it!.

    Here’s a poem about snow for you…
    Snow oh Snow,
    See how you blow!
    You are the best,
    Definetely NOT a pest!

    Snow oh Snow,
    I wish you could come more often,
    My feelings would certainly soften.
    Oh snow!

    Oh Snow!
    You are the most glorious shade of white,
    Not the ugly color of a termite!
    You are not bad at all,
    Just wait till I make you into a snowball!

    Snow oh SNOW!
    I would even pay,
    To have you come down in a fury every single day!

    Oh glorious snow,
    There is nothing on Earth better than you,
    You make me very happy, you really do!

    Snow is my mom complaining. Snow is me and my sister happy. Snow is making snowmen\snowgirl. Snow is watching it coming down from the sky looking like crystal.
    Snow is listening to the news to hear that there’s lots of accidents. Snow is seeing people driving slow and taking (a lot) of extra time to get to their destination. Snow is shoveling the driveway all the time. Snow is having frozen cheeks and noses. Snow is going outside and running into it to play. Snow is when buses are canceled. Snow is having fun with your friends. Snow is drinking hot chocolate by the fire after going outside. Snow is when no one wants to go anywhere. Snow is when kids get happy when the principal let’s them go outside and play. Snow is when parents are going to stores to buy snow tires. Snow is wishing for Summer to come fast and winter to end now.
    Snow is what you have to get use to if you live in CANADA!

    Wishing for a hot july for sure. But u couldn’t
    be more correct Raquel about we have
    just have to get used to it…really enjoyed
    your poem

    Snow is the time when you wish you were inside having a hot chocolate around the fireplace.Snow is wait for christmas day to come.Snow is bundeling up to go outside in the freezing cold. Snow is wishing for paking snow to make snowmen, snowforts and making snowballs to through at people who annoy you. Snow is the white fluffy stuff that you try to catch in your mouth. Snow is about having fun making foot slides that people break if you don’t go outside for recess earley enough.

    Snow is beautiful in MANY different ways! 😀

    SNOW IS…
    Snowboarding! On a beautiful winter day driving to the snowboard hill, so exciting. Once I’m at the top strapping in my binding the limits are endless. In the nice fresh snow I’m digging my edge in deciding if I’ll fish tail or turn and speed or go slow and easy. I could do tricks or not I might eat after this, nah I’ll keep going. When I’m waiting in line to get on the lift I’m talking with my Mommy or Daddy or both, maybe even my sister. Once I’m on the lift I bring down the bar and talk for a while then get ready to lift the bar and get off. So that’s snow to me! (Last time I was snowboarding with my Mommy I saw a little mouse my Mommy said we should name him. I said we should call him Mort the Glen Eden mouse!)

    just great Brandon, snowboarding is so cool
    and such a great sport to watch and do..
    I just wish I could be better at it…really
    enjoyed what u wrote

    Snow is skating in a hockey rank with family.
    Snow is watching little flaky cold ice balls falling from the sky.
    Snow is making a snowman and having snowball fights with friends.
    Snow is having fun going tobogganing down a big hill.
    Snow is making bridges and snow forts with sisters, brothers or by yourself.
    Snow makes me feel happy because you can make snow sculptures and then crush them.
    Have a happy winter everyone.

    Snow is fun. Snow is building snow forts with friends! Snow is like ice cold but fluffy! Snow is time for waterproof gloves. Snow is time for hat heads! Snow is shovling the snow. Snow is time drive slowly becuase you might skid!! Snow is time for hot soups and hot chocolate! Snow is time for snowpants and snowballs! Snow is time for really good boots. Snow is time for some animals to hibernate. Snow is time for adults to watch there children outside while sipping a cup of cofee or tea.

    Snow is scary for a Southener and Egyptian person like me. Snow is red noses and faces. Snow is icy spots all over the floor, falling when I leave out my door. Snow is no green or colors all around, snow is a white wonderland where Im very lost. Snow is oh so pretty, but it’s a shame that I would turn into a popsicle when it’s I don’t know, 20 below 0 ,wow! Snow is the thirty cm we’ll supposedly get tommorow! The first time I’ve seen snow more than an inch or two.Snow is hot chocolate and comforting things. Snow is ahhhh!! I’m scared I think I’ll go home NOW! Snow is the wonderful weather, scary and needing lots of jackets, but SNOW is amazing Canada weather, whether I like it or not!

    We all love that you have embraced
    Canada’s white powder. Really enjoyed your
    comments…great job.

    You get snowed in
    Right up to your chin
    Shoveling the driveway is quite a pain;
    Instead of snow, why couldn’t it rain?
    Having a snowball fight
    Getting frostbite
    Icicles dropping water on your head.
    Then having nightmares about it, in your bed.
    Traffic slows down a lot
    It’s very cold, not at all hot.
    Wiping off all the snow on the windshield,
    Snow covering the playing field.
    Having a bigger heating bill
    Gives some people a chill.
    The snow plow taking up the whole road
    Carrying a heavy load.
    Having to wear so many layers
    Turns lots of people into doomsayers.
    Snow forts collapsing
    Knowing that it wasn’t going to be everlasting.
    Tripping on a mound
    Of up-raised ground.
    Snow covering everything.
    Waiting so patiently for Spring.
    Snow is bad.
    When Spring comes I will be glad.

    as snow falls every day what i wonder is what i will do the next day. snow is white and snow can be yellow but maybe the yellow is jiggly Jello. i love playing in(white) snow because it makes me feel like im having a blast and i hope it will last.snow is awesome, almost like the coolness of a possum! ( ha ha see it rhymes) snow is like a ice pack if you get hit in the back by a snowball that made you fall! my last sentence is to make sure you know that to never eat yellow snow. it might seem tasty but its horribly nasty like eating a ice cream cone with gross water. ( ya it doesn’t rhyme but seriously dont eat the yellow snow).
