“It’s so wonderfully cold that my whole body crackles!” said the Snow Man. ~ Snowman, Hans Christian Anderson
“That is wonderfully beautiful,” said a young girl, who came with a
young man into the garden.
They both stood still near the Snow Man, and
contemplated the glittering trees. “Summer cannot show a more beautiful
sight,” said she; and her eyes sparkled.
“And we can’t have such a fellow as this in summer-time,” replied the
young man, and he pointed to the Snow Man. “He is capital.”
The girl laughed, nodded at the Snow Man, and then danced away over
the snow with her friend—over the snow that cracked and crackled under
her tread as if she were walking on starch.

I love this little excerpt. It's been cold here, but not cold enough for snow. Just rain, rain, rain. No crackling here unless there's a cozy fire in the fireplace :). Thanks for sharing this walk in the snow.
