Snow - A Blizzard

A couple feet of snow, a snowy fence, snow 1 foot high at the peak of the roof, snow: tiny, heavy flakes fluttering down in an all night streak.

It was, it is, and it shall be a White Christmas. 

It was a White Christmas when a snow patch started up when we were getting presents under the tree at 1:00am Christmas morning.

It is a White Christmas if you are still in the Christmas season, counting down to 3 Kings day, also known as Epiphany  (January 6)

It shall be a White Christmas is you are part of the Eastern Church and celebrate Christmas on the 6th, 7th, or 19th of January. 


Snow. 

Snow.

Snow. 

Job 37:6

He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
    and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’


One snowflake is different than every other. 


Each a showing of one of God's masterpieces, snow. 

A cold, frozen, soft rain.

Snow definition in the Bible


 Common in Palestine in winter (Ps. 147:16). The snow on the tops of the Lebanon range is almost always within view throughout the whole year. The word is frequently used figuratively by the sacred writers (Job 24:19; Ps. 51:7; 68:14; Isa. 1:18). It is mentioned only once in the historical books (2 Sam. 23:20). It was "carried to Tyre,Sidon, and Damascus as a luxury, and laborers sweltering in the hot harvest-fields used it for the purpose of cooling the water which they drank (Prov. 25:13; Jer. 18:14). No doubt Herod Antipas, at his feasts in Tiberias, enjoyed also from this very source the modern luxury of ice-water.


SNOW!
