Hot，hot，it's too hot!At this time every year，I really miss the snow that falls in my hometown.I'm from a small village in the northern part of the US.We get lots of snow every year.
   The snow stays around for months and mouths.When it snows at night，everything becomes quiet.It's almost like there is no sound at all. It feels like you're on the moon.
   And during the day，there are many fun things you can do in the snow.You can have snowball fights with your friends.You can make a snowman （or woman） with your parents.You can go sledding down a big hill.Or you can even play sports such as skiing，snowboarding and ice skating.
   Of course，there are some downsides（缺點） on snowy days.For example，the snow can make roads too dangerous to drive on，and there's also the chore of having to clear（清理） the snow around your house so you can get out.But I still miss snow quite a bit.
