The First Snow
Snow is an interesting thing because some people love it while others hate it. It signifies the beginning of the winter season, but most importantly it signifies the holiday season. But if you are from New England you’re probably used to it! The Sophomores of LHS have some whack opinions on snow. The honorable and prestigious man, from our very own LHS Sophomore class, Luke Witherell, claims, “it’s scary and wet.” This is the reality of snow, it’s cold and it is also wet. Some people are more fond of this white powder than others. The lovely lady Anushka Ahuja who comes from our sister to the south, Florida, says “ I really love it and it’s really pretty.”
Snow Expert, Tyler Merrill, says, “Snow is like rain, but harder and worse.” This is correct because he is a Snow Expert. This coincides with a statement from another Snow Expert, Vianne Lord. “It’s like cotton balls.” Cotton balls are also harder than rain.
While other students feel one way or the other towards the cold white stuff piling up on their doorsteps, Kaitlin Yandik has the realest description out there: “So like the snow is cool and it looks nice and all. Then you have to shovel it and it’s not so cool.” If this isn’t it, I don’t know what is.
Kaitlin’s expertise left many of us wondering, Do I actually like the snow that much? The answer is, you probably do because, despite its flaws, let’s not forget that this stuff is in the background of the album cover for the most iconic Christmas tune in history: “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey.
Though most people deem it too early to be jamming out to this Christmas tune instead of doing your homework, the snow really is a game changer. If Snow = The Holiday Season; and the Holiday Season = “All I Want for Christmas is You;” then Snow = “All I Want for Christmas is You”
Lastly when Michael Tsillas said, “We’re gonna have a white Thanksgiving,” the universe responded with “time to listen to Mariah Carey until your ears bleed!”
