The Snow

On Sunday 11th of August me and my family went to the snow. We drove to Arthur's Pass. It took around an hour to get there, I think, but it felt less. When we were close everything was still dry and normal and then we turned around a corner and everything was covered in snow! It was like the mountains had a great humongous white sheet draped over them. We stopped in a place where there were already about 10 cars parked. We almost got stuck when we were pulling in because of snow. Where we had parked, there had obviously been heavy snowfall because all of the cars had thick snow on top of them and on their windscreen. We got out and almost sunk in the snow because it was so deep. The first time I touched the snow, I didn't have gloves on and my hands were freezing. I threw a snowball at the hill and then there was a hole through the snow where it hit. Then not long after I got some gloves on and it wasn't cold anymore the next time I picked up snow. It actually took a while before my gloves got cold and wet. Then I started making some snowmen. Unfortunately we didn't bring any carrots so the snowmen that we actually managed to make didn't have any faces. I liked making the snowmen and I really liked going to the snow. I hope we go back soon.
