February brings a howling winter, or perhaps just a continuation of freezing cold weather. While it’s beautiful to watch the snow falling so gently, it’s also a bit hazardous for driving. The buried roads are impossible to see…and it is still snowing. Fortunately, I’m not going to be going out tonight. I’ll merely observe from my window, and watch while the snow illuminates the town.
Vocabulary;
Howling- a sharp sound
