Re: Describe your winter-y neighburhood.

Snow falls in small clumps, like cotton or tufts of yarn. It makes almost no sound at all and when there's a nice layer, everything is silent and louder at once. It muffles the sounds so every sound you do hear close to you seem louder.

Fresh snow is like a heap of very fine sugar. It shines under the sun and when you step on it, it becomes packed under your foot. If many people step on it and if it's cold enough to freeze over, then you'll get a layer of ice that looks like snow and it'll be very slippery. Sometimes, snow is cold enough for it to be over a layer of ice and it's extra tricky. Sometimes, it doesn't feel like snow but tiny bits of ice lumping together to look like snow.

Snow penetrates through your clothes and your gloves. It bites at your hands, your cheeks and your nose. It makes the air colder but there's something irresistible about going outside when there's snow! Tree branches are often weighed down by snow, but sometimes when it starts thawing, a tree branch will snap back into place throwing snow everywhere. You can see animal prints in the snow as well, much better than on a leaves-covered ground!

Regarding snowballs, well... I depends. Sometimes the snow is too powdery to even think about it, sometimes it's too wet.

Here's a gif of falling snow

Plenty more gifs this way: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/snow-gif

Here are a few pics of snowy landscapes near my home!

Thanks for answering! And that snow looks... beautiful. Just beautiful. I wish I could just walk along that path in the last picture, just looking around and humming to myself, and maybe taking some pictures for the folks back home.

By the way, do you live in Europe by any chance? Because I don't think the Americas have towns with roofs, steeples and spires like that. At, I don't think so...?

Yes I do! France, to be exact.

You're quite welcome and I hope you'll be able to visit one day!

One day, maybe I'll will. :)

That's just beautiful.

It doesn't snow where I live, so it's one of my life goals to travel some place where it does, just to see how it feels *-*
