I am so so so so so so happy that snow has finally arrived. There are so many reasons to love the snow!
1.) It Makes You Feel Peaceful
There is absolutely nothing more peaceful that I can think of than watching snow gently fall. Especially against some nice Christmas lights. ALL THE FEELS.
2.) Snow Days
Even those who hate winter can't lie: snow days are an absolute positive. I remember all the times a snow day saved me from going to school without my homework done. Even a 2 hour delay is such a blessing!
3.) Perfect Excuse To Stay Inside
No one will judge you for staying inside for a whole week. Eat a bunch of holiday food, play video games, crash on the couch with a blanket and a nice Christmas movie- relax because that's the only choice you have when the roads are covered in white bliss.
4.) Makes Driving Interesting
I enjoy driving in the snow, because it gives me a sense of excitement. You never know when you might slide on some ice and get some adrenaline pumped into your bloodstream. Call me crazy, but knowing that it could be dangerous makes driving in the snow so exciting.
5.) Snowball Fights
Ya just can't pass up a good snowball fight. I have so many memories of getting pounded in the face with a huge ice ball. Good times.
6.) Sledding
I have a really long, hilly driveway, so my friends (even in HS) would always want to come over and go sledding. I also remember the time when my sled was hooked to the back of a snowmobile and I rolled off the sled and almost hit a tree. Life doesn't get any better than having fun times and memories like those.
7.) Hot Chocolate Is A Must
Staying home? Have some hot chocolate. Going to a winter festival? Have some hot chocolate. Stuck going to class? Have some hot chocolate. I mean, it makes everything better. And you can't go through winter without drinking it at least once.
8.) It Creates A Winter Wonderland
There's just something about some pure, white snow covering everything that makes the world seem like a dream. Whether you walk through a small town, a huge city, or miles and miles of countryside, everything looks great with some snow on top of it.
"He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?
He sends his word and melts them;
he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow."
-Psalm 147:16-18 (NIV)
