The first day it snowed in Ann Arbor, I went into the calculus class I was teaching (as a grad teaching fellow) and was pelleted with wee snowballs by my students, gathered from the windowsills. (I, a native Miamian, had told them that this white puffy stuff falling from the skies was obviously an incredible myth.) It was an enormous pleasure. Some years later in Cleveland and around, I learned the marvelous sound and feeling of crunchy snow underfoot, and have heard some of the variety of snow sounds that Pwisers have mentioned lately. They are indeed lovely to feel and hear. It seems I'm the only one who hasn't heard snow hit water! Now I'm looking forward to that also.
