The Cog is Dead: Holy Crap, It’s Snowing!
Holy crap, it’s snowing!
The flakes are falling down, the wind is blowing.
The roads are closed, there’s nowhere I’ll be going now.
I guess today I’m staying home.
Oh yeah. But what is this “snow” you ask?
Water freezes into icy flakes.
It’s sort of a frozen form of precipitation.
Blankets all the houses, trees and lakes.
And everything is covered in a layer of white!
Holy crap, it’s snowing!
That’s right!
The inches on the ground just keep on growing.
It’s bright!
The snow reflects the sun and it is glowing now!
I think I’ll put my goggles on.
It’s important! You know snow blindness is a real thing!
When temperatures reach 0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit
Atmospheric water vapor freezes into beautiful geometric crystals.
These crystals fall from the sky down to the Earth in what is commonly known as snow. And what’s that I see out there?
Holy crap, it’s snowing!
Oh my!
And not a single blade of grass is showing.
It’s cold!
And it’s not showing any signs of slowing soon.
I guess it’s time to go inside. Yup!
