• One frosty morning, the sky was filled with fluffy snowflakes because a winter storm had arrived overnight. As a result, the town transformed into a magical winter wonderland. If you looked outside, you could see the streets covered in a thick layer of snow. Therefore, the schools decided to close for the day to keep everyone safe. If kids peeked out their windows, they would see a perfect playground waiting for them, and many decided to build snowmen or have snowball fights. As a result, the snowy day turned into an unexpected day of fun and adventure.
