Question

I woke up the morning after the blizzard to a world covered in white. We opened the front door of our building to find a wall of snow on the other side. School had been canceled, so we had nothing to do but explore the winter wonderland. Frankie was the first one out. He slid down a snow drift and then sank up past his knees in the snow. Boy, did we laugh. Then we laughed at ourselves as the rest of our bodies sank down into the snow. We had a huge snowball fight and built a snow fort with walls four feet high. The city was hushed----no traffic noise----because all the cars were snowed under. The quiet was strange, but nice. We stayed outside until we couldn't feel our noses.
