Observations of a first-time snow-experiencer:
- Walking on roads after snowfall is not very pleasant, no matter how romantically snow is portrayed in countries like India (where I come from. Most people there have only heard of snow, but never experienced it directly).
- Further, walking after the snow has hardened can be extremely dangerous. I know, I have taken a few spills already
- To restate the above point, walking on fresh snow is far easier (and akin to walking on sand) than walking on ice (thin or otherwise).
- Right after it snows, it’s a little less chilly.
- Snow flakes are beautiful. You can end up spending a lot of time just watching them fall.
- When the snow starts melting, it can get quite slushy. Yuck! This is when you really need those Wellington boots.
Feel free to add your own snow lessons. We can then publish Snow Lessons 102

Nice post Mahesh. I’ve never experienced snow myself, but can imagine it from your writing.

Well, it depends on what kind of a person you are: you’re either snow-loving (like me), or not (like you)
