THE SNOW had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.

Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl. – James Russell Lowell

A snowflake is one of Gods most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! – Anon.

We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt. – Sir Walter Scott
