Hello everyone! This is Robert from AEON

Yurakucho School. Winter is almost here again,

which means it is starting to get colder and colder.

While it doesn't snow very often in Tokyo,

in my hometown, Boston, it usually snows from

December until March or April! Many people in

my hometown have a love-hate relationship with

snow. It is beautiful and fun for kids to play in,

but it is a hassle to remove from the street or

sidewalk, and it can make driving very dangerous.

For me, I am happy to live in a place where we

don't need to worry about shoveling snow.

　

Here are some different types of snow

we have in the U.S.

　

Powder Snow: This is soft and light snow

that is easy to shovel. It is perfect for skiing

or snowboarding.

　

Wet Snow: This snow is very wet and heavy.

It is difficult to shovel and can become hard

and icy. It isn't as good for skiing but is perfect

for building a snowman.

　

Sleet: This is a mixture of rain,

snow and ice. It is very slippery!

　

Freezing Rain: This is rain that is partially frozen

and may turn into ice when it lands on the ground.

It can cause many problems such as power outages.

　

Do you like winter weather?

Does it snow a lot in your hometown?

Please let me know when you see me at AEON!
