Snow days have been renown ever since institutions had started in human history. It can affect someone in a harmful or beneficial depending upon the person themselves.

I woke up and hoped my furnace was working and was ready to be put on full blast. It was a frigid cold day, the coldest it’s ever been. The weather man called for the temperature to be -59 degrees. I walked outside and the air made me feel like I couldn’t move. It was that cold.

Today, the weather was very humid and warm outside for mid-October. It was a comfortable temperature outside, so I decided to take my fall jacket off because I did not want to be too hot as I was walking around the market. I’m estimating that it was approximately mid to low 20’s in temperature today, so whenever a breeze arose, it was refreshing because it was pretty warm outside. I decided that today I would take a walk through the dessert sections of the market before going to sit by the outdoor firepit. There were many vendors selling fudge and pastries, so this was something I purchased because I was heading home that afternoon and I thought my family would enjoy these treats. The firepit was not turned on today because it was fairly warm outside, but I still decided to sit in one of the Adirondack chairs surrounding the firepit to take in everything that was happening around me. It was very busy at the market around this time because it was the weekend, and everybody was taking the opportunity to spend time with their families outside on the warm fall day. I also noticed an older man performing a compilation of folk songs on the guitar, and a small group of people huddled around the area listening to him perform. I started to become restless after sitting in the chair for about ten minutes, so I decided to continue walking to one of the buildings at the farmer’s market. Throughout my childhood, my parents would usually take me and my sisters to St. Jacobs Farmers’

The ground beneath the stiff leaves lies frozen. I hear sound of leaves crackling underneath my thick boots which each step I take. As I wander aimlessly, the cold, brisk air invades my lungs. I exhale slowly, I see my shaky breath float away from me. The scenery is nothing special, black trees covered in moss, very few hills, rocks in no set trail, and above all else, endless layers of Texas snow (not really snow, just an ice layer maybe 1/3 of an inch).

my parents woke me up for school. Totally discombobulated, I stumbled onto the ice cold

Jolting upright in bed I searched for the button to turn off this annoying alarm. Not being able to find it I yanked the plug from the wall finally ending the loud shrieking noise. I lay back down and pulled my bright blue covers over my head. The brightness of the sun lightly shone through the comforter, warming the places where there wasn't a shadow. Ughh!! It's Saturday and I have nowhere to go to get away. Scrunching up my face I thought hard about what I could do.

At this point, I never wanted to go sledding again. It was that bad. Snow coming down hard, it was freezing cold, and it was almost eight o’clock at night. I started to lay down in the snow, and pout. I thought, “This is by far, the worst day of my life.” I also thought, “Why did I not bring my house key? Why am I so stupid!”

My face feels a cool breeze brush my back, it was time I have to sit NOW! I am soon comforted by the soft seat belt, I now have to stop at a red trash can and make that perfect turn. I am nervous, I soon see my mom’s phone dangling on the edge. “ MOM, Why at this moment are you taking a photo of the skis dangling,” I say. There are little tiny people under my feet. I see I am face planting in the snow fifty feet below and all of them are skiing and snowboarding over me.

On a snowy and windy night, I was at Barnes & Noble in Green Bay with my friends, Alan and Karina. Christmas music played overhead, the smell of hot chocolate and freshly brewed coffee wafted over, the customers were kind and cheerful, and snow was beginning to blanket the parking lot outside. We were sitting near the cafe wrapping books to support their mom’s school fundraiser. I stared outside and remembered my mom’s warning of the large snowfall that was almost upon us. Around 7:15, the snowflakes were becoming larger and we could barely see outside the window.

I am greeted with “Why didn’t you set your alarm?” and, “Are you at least ready/” I respond with “I am ready, just hungry” which completely summed up how I was feeling at that moment and time. If there was anything going right in that moment it would be that we had my absolutely favorite breakfast food in the freezer - Eggo Cinnamon Toast Waffles. Boy oh boy, those delicious, heavenly waffles can fix any situation in the world. I pop a couple of those blessings in the toaster to meet me after I finish messing with my bad case of bed head.
