3 areas, build to TWIST, don’t make obvious what the couplet will “resolve” or conclude or point out!

I enclosed some specific negatives for reference, but frankly, I wouldn’t go there; I wouldn’t mention much in the way of negatives; I would just talk about the activities in each setting and how good they feel>>>> and then highlight how even as good as they are, that the whole of them together in the winter season is more than simply the sum of their parts; it’s the combination of sports outside in the weather; snow associated with crhistmas; lights and decorations in displays;

Sports activities
Snowboard, wrestling,
Snowmen, snowball fights
Sledding
>>>broken legs from skiing/snowboarding; frostbite, pain in the neck ski lift and cold and lines; hitting head wresteling and getting a concussion; “cauliflower ears” broken extremities from wrestling; losing; ringworm; hours outside in the bitter cold; hours spent practicing, working hard, hurting from just practice as well as getting hurt;
BUT :>>>> may be you win, ; Hours outside in the cold enjoying the activities and then really enjoying by contrast the hot chocolate and warmth of the lodge; the satisfaction of mastering how to do a jump or move; the thrill of skiing/boarding gliding down a hill; meeting people you would never otherwise meet;

Weather:
Bright sunshine, on cold but not windy “ski lodge picture” type of day in the snow
Pretty sight of snow on the landscape, of snow gently falling
Cold, icy, snowy
Slushy; sleet rain freezing rain night; getting stuck in the snow, car crashes; old people breaking hips slipping on ice; cold, wet, windy ; having to shovel all of that *&^R snow off the walk and driveway
BUT>>>getting to be outside shoveling snow on a nice day, meeting neighbors also doing same, maybe doing someone elses driveway because you have a snow blower, or simply because you are young and healthy enough and CAN do their driveway for

    Atticus Finch Snow Day

    I understand that schools get closed due to snow all the time, but what’s peculiar is how much they get. “ I don’t want you all to be disappointed, but I doubt if there’ll be enough snow for a snowball.” (Lee,64). That clearly shows there was no reason for a snow day. Compared to today, it has to be a lot of snow to where the roads don’t get plowed to later in the day. Another major difference is that it is in Alabama. There is never snow down there, so you can see how much it changed most likely due to global warming. It really shows how much we have changed since then.…

    Snow Persuasive Speech

    Let me explain why I enjoy snow. The fluffy white snow dances like little angels, gently falling from the winter sky as it generously caressing the earth with delicacy and grace. Its touch is bitter cold yet enchanting against the smooth crisp air. The only fears it displays is from the warm, distant sun as it reaches forth with threating rays to melt its soft beauty. It blankets the ground and glistens with the light from above as it provides a joyous atmosphere for children of all ages to partake in the fun with snowballs, snowman, igloos, and sledding. I hope that you will enjoy snow now just as much as me.…

    Scientific explanations of winter are often found in comparison to summer, spring or fall. “Winter is caused by the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun”. (Santiago 2008). The oblique angle of earth to sun causes the same amount of solar radiation to spread over a larger area. There are lots of myths about winter in every different part of the world. The best known myth according to Santiago is Greek one that explains the origins of winter and its association with death and rebirth. Also there are some psychological effects on people’s behaviour in winter. Many people experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and the symptoms include excessive sleep, fatigue, depression, and physical aches. (Santiago 2008). In winter we have to pay extra effort towards our daily routine. But winter is also a season to explore ourselves through skiing, snowboarding etc. There is more to winter than freezing cold. (Santiago 2008). Although there are many problems in winter but winter brings out best qualities. As Canadians, we are not defeated by winter. (Santiago 2008).…

    The snow is like a white ash that falls covering the land and everything in its path. It’s like magic falling from the sky. The tiny star-shaped pieces of the clouds are mesmerizing. I love to look out of the window at the white blanket covering the land. Everything disappears, hiding under piles and piles of white frozen water. The sun sparkles, picking out glittery diamonds in frosty surroundings.…

    It was Sunday after Christmas and all the businesses around were open with great sales and deals. My mother and I had planned to open our family business early that day so we wouldn’t have to wait in traffic, which was terrible even early in the morning. The winter season was extremely cold that year. I got dressed as quickly as possible because I decided it would be beneficial to us if I went ahead and warmed up the car to get it running at optimal temperatures. We were finally on our way.…

    A winter storm

    • 595 Words

    There are days of happiness, and there are days of sorrow. The day I witnessed my first winter storm, was a day to remember. It was a cold, unforgiving winter in eastern Europe on my grandparents' farm, where I spent most of my time. But this winter was not like any other I've ever experienced. Waking up that morning I was anxious to get outside and play with the snow, make snow angels, and start snowball fights with my granddad. As the little me was getting dressed and excited to get outside, my granddad spoke . He told me that there wasn't a chance of me ever getting out that door within the next three hours. Dumbfounded, I looked at him and said "watch me!", he laughed and watched me race to the door. Being the scrawny little 65 pound boy that I was, it took me all morning, and into the afternoon to dig my way through the snow barricaded doors. It snowed so much that night that our windows on the first floor were covered almost to the very top. The only way for anyone to get from the house to the barn is to create snow tunnels, and half crawl beneath the snow. Or at least that is what I imagined myself doing. The snow was way to powdery to dig tunnels, but we still had to dig pathways to get around.…
