Snow in Virginia

  Here in Utah it would not be a big deal if we got 4 inches of snow. However in Virginia it would be a very big deal. I remember when we got a week off of school cause of that much snow. I played in the snow with my brother as soon as it stuck high enough. It was not the kind of snow. It was the snow that does not stick. So we used the snow that hardens up to use as snowballs. I remember my friend hit me with one on the face. It was just like getting with a rock. I was bleeding a little bit. i still had fun though. My dad and I made a little hole in the ground inside the snow. So I went in there to get warm for about ten minutes. On the last day of the snow I made a snowman with my neighbor. It was so hard since the snow did not stick together. When we finally had to go to school, on the way home I slipped on some leftover snow on the street and landed on my butt. I did it going to school, but that time I lande on my back. I did not get up for a whole minute. That was the most snow we have ever had in Virginia in such a long time.
