Winter

After the trees have lost all of their leaves, we enter the season of Winter.  Winter, in my opinion, is one of the hardest seasons to get through.  The temperature drops and it can be very, very cold outside.  The sun sets earlier, so it gets darker earlier at night.  Sometimes it is so windy that it can hurt your face to go outside.

There are many activities to do; some activities are enjoyable and some are not.  Some activities that are enjoyable are sledding, building a snowman, and having a snowball fight.  Activities that might not be so fun are shoveling, cleaning the snow off of cars, and driving.

It is also important that you dress appropriately for the weather.  During the Winter you will probably need to wear a warm coat, hat, scarf, gloves, boots, and sometimes snow pants.

One time, I shoveled my whole driveway and cleaned off 3 cars while it was still snowing.  It was very windy too, and my face started to hurt.  

Fun Fact:  Did you know that each snowflake is unique?  Just like us.
