Please look over? and what is a good title? thanks. :)?
It was a cold February morning in a small town in Minnesota. “Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!� my alarm screeched. I began to slowly open my eyes when I remembered what the weatherman had promised. Snow. I jumped out of bed and looked out my window. A thick white shimmering blanket of white snow covered everything. I immediately began the search around my room to find my remote control. It was hiding from me, not wanting me to know if there was a reason to be excited. Not wanting me to know if today would be a snow day. As I continued to frantically search my bedroom my younger sister walked in. “Are you looking for this?� she asked and laughed as she picked up the remote, half hidden by my clothes on the floor. “Yes!� I yelled happily. I grabbed the remote from her hands and quickly turned on the television. I was already on our local radio’s channel. As I half listened to how our high school’s wrestling team did I hoped and wished for a snow day inside my head. Snow days were always fun, but our town rarely had them. Our superintendent was in charge of calling it off but never thought even the worst blizzards were “that bad.� For him to even consider calling it off, all the schools within a forty-five mile radius had to be closed first. “And now our weather related news,� the radio host announced. My sister and I listened to him intently. “Jackson County Central Schools are two hours late today. Two hours late.� I sighed. Two hours late was definitely a good thing, but a snow day would be so much better. There was plenty of snow on the… “Wait,� the announcer interrupted my thoughts. “We’ve just gotten a new school closing. Jackson County Central Schools are now closed.� My sister and I screamed with joy. I anxiously called my neighbor Cody. “Cody! Cody! Did you hear?� “Hmm? Mmm,� he responded sleepily. “Wake up!� “I’m up, I’m up. What is it?� “It’s a snow day today!� “Really? That’s awesome!� “Yeah! What should we do today?� “Hmm, sledding?� I remembered the last snow day. It was last year. All my friends and I got together and brought all our sleds and inner tubes and anything we could find to Hospital Hill, one of the steepest hills around. As you stood at the top of the hill and looked down, you could feel the excitement build inside you. Then you put your sled down. The slippery snow would send it down without you if you didn’t hold on tight. Then was the hard part, jumping in. You had to be quick, and it was hard to land just right, but the next thing you knew you were flying down the gigantic hill. You were going so fast that all you could see was the dark blur of a few trees and all white. The cold wind stung your face, yet you couldn’t help but smile. All the way down was the most amazing, invigorating experience of your life. “Sledding is a lot of fun,� I said to Cody, “but we should think of something new; something even better.� “Okay, meet me at my house in ten. I’ll call Andy too.� “See you.� I hung up the phone before he could respond. I was so excited for my snow day to begin. I ran through my living room, the hallway, and into the kitchen. I almost tripped while scrambling down the basement stairs. Finally, I reached the closet. I got out my boots, snow pants, hat, gloves, and my warmest coat and put them all on. By the time I was all dressed I felt like a mummy. I could barely move my arms and legs. Getting back upstairs was probably the hardest part, but I did it, then I left out my backdoor and slowly waddled like a penguin over to Cody’s house. By the time I got there, my cheeks were pink from the bitter air. I met Andy and Cody sitting on Cody’s front steps as the cold winter wind brushed against my face. “Hey guys!� “Hey,� they responded in unison. I looked around and asked, “So what are we going to do today?� “Well, we could go sledding in the ravine, build a snow man, or have a snowball fight,� Cody replied. “What about an igloo?� Andy asked. “Okay, yeah!� I said, “Let’s do it.� We had no idea where to start, because none of us had ever made an igloo before. We all started taking handfuls of snow and putting them in a tall pile in Cody’s yard, but soon realized this would be a lot of work. “Hey, look over here!� Cody shouted to us. On the corner of his yard, next to street, was a huge pile of snow the snowplows must have left. It seemed as if we read each other’s mind because we all abandoned our old small mound of snow and began to pack and shape this big pile. We had to make sure it was perfectly packed so it wouldn’t fall apart when we started carving out the inside. It took a while, but finally we decided it was good enough. Next, we would have to turn our rounded, packed down, huge lump of snow into an actual igloo. Andy started to dig into the side with his hands, but seemed to be going nowhere. There had to be a better way. “Hmm,� Cody said to himself and walked into his garage. He soon came back out with three metal metal shovels. We each snatched one and got to work. Shovel. That’s all we did for hours. Or was it days? Weeks? It seemed like forever. The center was the worst. The hard, compacted snow had almost completely turned into one solid chunk of ice. We all kept working. Shoveling, and shoveling, and shoveling. And then something amazing happened. We realized it was no longer just a pile of snow. It actually looked like an igloo. We admired out work while standing outside the entrance. It was the most fantastic, glittering, beautiful thing we had ever seen. We had made it ourselves. Our whole snow day afternoon had been devoted to building this creation, and finally we were finished. We all ran into the igloo, wanted to see what it looked like from inside. All three of us could fit easily. We sat in a circle while we admired the bluish white walls of snow; admiring our hard work. We looked at each other and smiled. That was the best snow day I ever had.
