3 areas, build to TWIST, don’t make obvious what the couplet will “resolve” or conclude or point out!

I enclosed some specific negatives for reference, but frankly, I wouldn’t go there; I wouldn’t mention much in the way of negatives; I would just talk about the activities in each setting and how good they feel>>>> and then highlight how even as good as they are, that the whole of them together in the winter season is more than simply the sum of their parts; it’s the combination of sports outside in the weather; snow associated with crhistmas; lights and decorations in displays;

Sports activities
Snowboard, wrestling,
Snowmen, snowball fights
Sledding
>>>broken legs from skiing/snowboarding; frostbite, pain in the neck ski lift and cold and lines; hitting head wresteling and getting a concussion; “cauliflower ears” broken extremities from wrestling; losing; ringworm; hours outside in the bitter cold; hours spent practicing, working hard, hurting from just practice as well as getting hurt;
BUT :>>>> may be you win, ; Hours outside in the cold enjoying the activities and then really enjoying by contrast the hot chocolate and warmth of the lodge; the satisfaction of mastering how to do a jump or move; the thrill of skiing/boarding gliding down a hill; meeting people you would never otherwise meet;

Weather:
Bright sunshine, on cold but not windy “ski lodge picture” type of day in the snow
Pretty sight of snow on the landscape, of snow gently falling
Cold, icy, snowy
Slushy; sleet rain freezing rain night; getting stuck in the snow, car crashes; old people breaking hips slipping on ice; cold, wet, windy ; having to shovel all of that *&^R snow off the walk and driveway
BUT>>>getting to be outside shoveling snow on a nice day, meeting neighbors also doing same, maybe doing someone elses driveway because you have a snow blower, or simply because you are young and healthy enough and CAN do their driveway for

    2. Standing at the top of the glacier with the full force of the ice-cold wind rushing to smash across my face like rose thorns. My lips frozen together as dried concrete impaired my speech. The aqua, navy waters, giving out a feeling as if floating in the sky. Likewise, the calm, clear ocean provided for an awesome glacier view.…

    Let me explain why I enjoy snow. The fluffy white snow dances like little angels, gently falling from the winter sky as it generously caressing the earth with delicacy and grace. Its touch is bitter cold yet enchanting against the smooth crisp air. The only fears it displays is from the warm, distant sun as it reaches forth with threating rays to melt its soft beauty. It blankets the ground and glistens with the light from above as it provides a joyous atmosphere for children of all ages to partake in the fun with snowballs, snowman, igloos, and sledding. I hope that you will enjoy snow now just as much as me.…

    This is the same thrill they get when they open their perfectly wrapped presents on Christmas morning. They get back up from the fall and continue to run back up the steep hill with their snow filled boots and numb toes. The higher up the hill they climb the faster the sled goes and the better the thrill. As the child builds up speed, they continue to clench the side of the sled with their excitement growing. Each time the child goes down the hill its worth it to keep climbing back up and go down again because it gives them the thrill and excitement similar to that of the feelings they get on Christmas day. When a child opens their mouth wide and screams they can feel the cool snowflakes melting in their mouth. The thrill of going over a bump and sledding down a hill brings the child closer to the thought of Christmas. The child now understands that because Christmas is here, it is wintertime.…

    Scientific explanations of winter are often found in comparison to summer, spring or fall. “Winter is caused by the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun”. (Santiago 2008). The oblique angle of earth to sun causes the same amount of solar radiation to spread over a larger area. There are lots of myths about winter in every different part of the world. The best known myth according to Santiago is Greek one that explains the origins of winter and its association with death and rebirth. Also there are some psychological effects on people’s behaviour in winter. Many people experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and the symptoms include excessive sleep, fatigue, depression, and physical aches. (Santiago 2008). In winter we have to pay extra effort towards our daily routine. But winter is also a season to explore ourselves through skiing, snowboarding etc. There is more to winter than freezing cold. (Santiago 2008). Although there are many problems in winter but winter brings out best qualities. As Canadians, we are not defeated by winter. (Santiago 2008).…

    Major Setback It was Sunday after Christmas and all the businesses around were open with great sales and deals. My mother and I had planned to open our family business early that day so we wouldn’t have to wait in traffic, which was terrible even early in the morning. The winter season was extremely cold that year. I got dressed as quickly as possible because I decided it would be beneficial to us if I went ahead and warmed up the car to get it running at optimal temperatures. We were finally on our way.…

    Season of the Year by Noah Cook To quote a famous Christmas song by Andy Williams, I believe that the holiday season “is the most wonderful time of the year.” It draws friends and families closer together.

    A winter storm

    Pavel Ryabichev Professor Price English 55 Sep-16-2013 A Winter Storm There are days of happiness, and there are days of sorrow. The day I witnessed my first winter storm, was a day to remember. It was a cold, unforgiving winter in eastern Europe on my grandparents' farm, where I spent most of my time. But this winter was not like any other I've ever experienced. Waking up that morning I was anxious to get outside and play with the snow, make snow angels, and start snowball fights with my granddad. As the little me was getting dressed and excited to get outside, my granddad spoke . He told me that there wasn't a chance of me ever getting out that door within the next three hours. Dumbfounded, I looked at him and said "watch me!", he laughed and watched me race to the door. Being the scrawny little 65 pound boy that I was, it took me all morning, and into the afternoon to dig my way through the snow barricaded doors. It snowed so much that night that our windows on the first floor were covered almost to the very top. The only way for anyone to get from the house to the barn is to create snow tunnels, and half crawl beneath the snow. Or at least that is what I imagined myself doing. The snow was way to powdery to dig tunnels, but we still had to dig pathways to get around.…

    I can remember last winter when me and my friends went to the country and made the biggest snow man from our town. The snow was like silk and every time the sun shone it was glittering. The houses were full of this incredible white skin texture which resembled like a big white polar bear. Even if the sun was trying to warm this part of the country, the winter and thus the snow took possession of our lives, invading it with beautiful snow flakes which were constantly falling like diamonds from the grey sky. I remember the feeling that endeavours your soul, a feeling of ease, of peace and happiness. I love winter and all that relates to it.…

    Mikhaila Kels Essay #4 Comparison The Different Seasons As a new season approaches we all get excited and ready for a new change. Winter and summer are two very different seasons but also have similar characteristics. When winter comes around, everyone gets out their scarfs, boots, and warm clothes to get ready for the cold. In the winter, we get excited for snow and of course Christmas. Everyone enjoys Christmas and celebrating the holidays with family and friends. It’s almost like everyone hibernates in their homes because no one wants to go out in the cold or drive anywhere. It also gets dark very early so there’s not much time to be outside. Instead we might sit inside, cuddled up in a blanket, trying to get warm and watch a movie. I find myself not going out as much in the winter time and I can get very bored sitting in my house all night. If we get snow, it’s always fun to play outside in the snow or go snowmobiling. That’s if you don’t mind freezing and most likely going inside after an hour because you’re so cold. When I think of winter, I think of that feeling where you are so cold that you can barely feel your hands and your ears feel like they’re going to fall off. I think of hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. The worst part about winter would be shoveling the snow that builds up in your driveway and being cold. The best part is the holiday spirit that takes place for Christmas and New Year’s.…
