I have seen snow only in photos and videos but not in reality before. I know there is not much snow in California and I was worried that I was going to miss the experience. But there is a place called Tahoe with so many mountains and it had very good amount of snow. It was a two hour drive from my sister in law's house. I was very excited at the first site of snow on the road as we were nearing Tahoe. It was a sunny day and I was scared that I will not get an opportunity to touch it or play with it by the time we reach the place. So, we pulled over on the road to have a feel of it. As soon as the car stopped, I was the first to jump out of it and run towards it to touch it.
Snow is nothing but finely crushed ice. I held it in my hand for as long as I could and had some photos taken.We then continued our journey. As we were approaching the place, the view began to get better and better. The mountains had snow over them here and there in the beginning. But later, the mountains were covered with a thick blanket of snow which looked like untouched thick layer of vanilla ice-cream. I with held my temptation to take and eat a scoop of it!

After we reached Tahoe and got down from the car, it was freezing cold. It was around 11:30AM when we boarded a gandora(rope way) to go high above into the thick layers of snow. I was not tired of wondering how beautiful the view was after every minute. It was just awesome. We landed at a view point midway where we had a chance to go around in a circle to enjoy the view and come back. We could see the tall casino buildings in the Nevada state, snow covered mountains, lot of greenery, and the three shades of the huge lake Tahoe. We got onto the gandora again and reached the final stop.
wowwww is what I said the moment we saw snow snow and snow all around. Infact there were people skiing in the snow there. It felt really good to watch them. I looked and looked and looked.. till I was satisfied and then started playing and rolling over it. The snow seemed to be pure white in color and quite soft. I even made an Olaf(a fictional snowman character from animated film, Frozen) with it, taking breaks in between to calm my numb hands. We threw snow at each other and ran and fell and had loads and loads of fun! The ride back in the gandora was equally good.
On the way back I realized that snow is good to play and have fun now an then. But it is very troublesome to live in places where it snows. Driving in snow is risky and involves great care and concentration.
