Snowy Day

A Snowy Day!

When I woke up on January 21, 2025, I looked outside because the house was cold for some reason, and I saw…SNOW! I immediately asked my mom if I could go 

outside and she said “yes”. I have never seen snow like this before in Mobile, Alabama. So I put on my clothes that I would need for this type of weather and I played in the snow all day long. I made snow angels, two snowmen, and snowballs to throw at the trees.

My brother, Taj, and I even made a snow fortress that took two hours (12:50 p.m. - 2:50 p.m.). After ten minutes of using my fortress to block Taj's snowballs, we both went inside. This was such a fantastic day!

When I woke up on January 21,  2024, I immediately realized that it was extremely cold in my room, because neither the heater nor the air conditioning unit was on, so I decided to make some hot cocoa in the kitchen. However, on my way there, I looked out of the window and noticed that there were small, tiny, and delicate little snowflakes falling slowly to the ground. I just said in my head, simply “woah.” I have never seen as much snow like this in my 14 years living in Mobile, Alabama

. This was a once in a lifetime experience. I decided to go outside and play in the snow. My cousins, Weldon and Christian, arrived later that day to build a snowman and do other fun activities with the snow. We built snowmen, made snow angels, and even threw snowballs at each other. Some of the snowballs hurt a little, and some did not. It was just a good time.

When we were done, we headed back inside the house and reviewed the snow catastrophes that we had recorded. As it continued to snow outside, Weldon, Christian, and the rest of my cousins played video games, laughed, talked, made jokes, and even played some board games. To put it simply, it was an awesome and one in a million fun day. 

"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

- Isaiah 1:18 (King James Version)

A Snowy Day in Mobile, Alabama

Early in the morning, I woke up on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, to an unusual 

silence. I grabbed my phone and squinted at the bright scene. School was closed

 due to the weather. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but then I sat up and 

ran to the window. At that moment, I couldn't believe my eyes. The rooftops, cars, 

and yards were covered in a thin layer of white snow. It wasn’t much, but in

 Mobile, Alabama, it was basically a blizzard. 

As soon as I realized it was real, I threw on my hoodie, jeans and gloves and ran

 outside. The air was freezing and I could  see my breath like a little cloud in front 

of me. A few of my neighbors were already outside scooping  up whatever snow 

they could find. After that, my friend, Mason, came running down the street.

 “Dude! It’s actually snowing!”, he shouted.  

I said,”I know! This is insane!” I grabbed a handful of snow and packed it into the worst

 snowball ever (it was mostly ice). Right away, I threw it at Mason, but he dodged and 

laughed. Then, we decided to build a snowman, but the snow kept mixing with dirt 

and grass. By the time we finished, it looked more like a muddy snow monster. 

We didn’t care, because we were just happy to have any snow at all. 

After a while, my fingers felt numb, so I ran inside the house to warm up. 

As soon as I stepped inside, I smelled hot chocolate that my mom had made for me. 

Then, I wrapped myself in a blanket and sipped the hot chocolate.

Finally, as the sun sets, I looked outside one last time. I knew I’d always 

remember this day. For the first time ever, Mobile had a real snowy day,

 and it was the best one I had ever seen.
