Planet Snow

As I walk around, with three feet of snow covering the cars and roads, I wonder about how I would describe what snow is like to someone who has never experienced it.

There's this stuff that falls out of the sky and it's pure white and frozen and it piles up fast. You can get trapped or buried in it, and have to shovel paths through it to get in and out of your house! The sunlight bouncing off the snow it so bright you have to wear sunglasses. Dogs and kids love to play in it, and once upon a time Eskimos used to live in igloos made of it. People have to shovel it off their roofs so they don't cave in from the weight, and motorized plows have to clear the roads and sidewalks made slippery by it.
