It is skating over the glossy ice and skiing down the steep hills. A rousing game of ice hockey is fun to play with friends. Many people build snow-forts and have snowball fights with friends. Another fun winter activity is snowmobiling or four-wheeling around the snow covered fields. Baking cookies and making hot apple cider or cocoa on cold stormy days passes the time.
Winter smells of burning fires and chimney smoke.
It also smells of fresh evergreen trees. Besides being cold, winter is a very pretty season. When you look outside in winter, it is as if someone had set down a piece of glass and that glass is the snow. The snow is glossy and white as it shimmers in the light. The winter scenery is like a storybook picture.
