In winter the weather is snowy and frosty. The sun often shines brightly in the sky but it is not warm. A cold strong wind often blows and brings much snow and a lot of clouds. It often snows in winter. The nature looks wonderful when it snows because there is a lot of snow everywhere. The ground gets white and looks shiny because it is covered with white bushy snow. There are no leaves in the trees but they looke very beautiful because they are covered with white bushy snow, too. When the sun shines, the snow sparkles in the sun. The rivers and lakes are covered with beautiful shiny ice. It also sparkles in the sun. It is so beautiful to be out-of-doors during the winter.
