There was a raging blizzard this morning.
Ice and snow flew alongside the strong winds, and the ground was buried under snowdrifts as high as me.
The sun was covered behind thick black clouds, and this continued throughout the entire day.

Looking at the kids studying on snowy days, it rubbed off me and even I spent a little time playing.
