Yet my stories always have snow in them. Someone’s over-compensating…

Lol. I will use this thesaurus for my story in the future, so I will no doubt return to this entry for clarification. Thanks!!

Jerry Spinelli has an awesome snowing sequence in LOSER.

The visual and the tactile of snow are jarringly different. The first is almost powder sugar or frosting, the second cold and unfriendly…
Maybe I’ve been in California for too long.

Great job guys!

You’ve given me some great things to think about where snow is concerned. Often it is only wonder or cold that writers associate it with. You’ve shown us there is so much more!

Avoiding cliches about snow sparkling, or cliches of anytime when discussing weather, is important. It’ll take away from the mood rather than adding to it.

When it comes down, it’s slow and gentle – just like you’re in a snow globe.

Great post.

Thanks for chiming in. 🙂
