The snowflakes were huge. Some of them were so big that they were almost the size of a large bumblebee.
My little sister, Nora, was so interested in playing kickball that she didn't want to run around with me and Lily and catch snowflakes.
I was disappointed when, on the way home from the park, we had to go to the grocery store: when we came out, it had stopped snowing. There was hardly and snow left on the ground. By the time I had gotten home all the snow had melted and I didn't even get a chance to play in the snow. There wasn't even enough for a snowman or to go sledding.
I had wanted to collect some snow to make maple candy. My mom set out a try to collect some snow while we were gone. But all the snow in the tray had melted.
