Snowball Fight!

Ok, after 2 weeks of waiting, finally, it snowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was really excited because it's fun and funny to see snow!!!

The snow can be very white and cold and fun! Too many adjetive which I can use to descripe snow. Beautiful, romantic, artistic, fun, cold or it can be wet, fast and annoying.

For me who has never seen snow in my life(close range), snow is totally too much fun. I like walking on the snow because it makes a funny 'krufff, krufff, krufff, krufff' sound on the nice fluffy snow. Then it makes 'krushhhh, krushhhh, krushhh, krushhh' sound on the hard snow when it's to cold. Then 'plattttt, plattttt, platttt, plattttt' on the wet and bad snow.

The snow will fall on different direction and ways. When there is no wind, they drop beautifully to the ground. And when they are flyingaround the city violently with the wind, it's annoying because they will get into your eyes, mouth etc. When it's abut -1,-2, the snow is fluffy and with nice shape, best for snowballs! Then when it's too cold, -6 and below, the snow will be like little crystal of ice or glasses, and they are hard, so you cant play snowballs.

My 1st snowball fight!
I wasnt expect the 'fight' when I walked out from school no. 46 after the winter party of the junior kids. I was on my way to school No.66 to deliver my X'mas card to Anna. Then the students from 46 asked me to join them and I thought I should give it a try!

It was... well... actually... 13 gals against 3 guys... plus I'm totally NEW to snowball fight. I grabbed the snow on the floor with my both hands, and tried to forge them into a ball shope snow. It was interesting because it took me several squeeze to form a nice snowball. You need certain degree of rundness and toughness in order to make a 'fightable' snowball. You want t make sure the snowball can somehow 'hurt' the 'enemy' and the snowball can 'fly' to certain distance when you throw them.

We were totally out numbers and it was a tough fight... But we manages to get several good shot on the gals, LOL!!! It was really fun and I really want to play more. But I have to go now! Dima wants me t play Half Life with him! To be continiued...!!!
