Amelia was out playing in the snow. Currently it’s snow and freezing rain. She started banging in the door.
Amelia (age 7): “Mom. I might be fatly injured.”
Me: “Fatally you mean? What happened?”
Amelia: “I was hit by a snow wave. Hard.”
Me: “What’s a snow wave?”
Amelia: “It’s when the snow slaps you into the face!”
Me: “Did you fall in it?”
Amelia: “No. I was hit by a snow wave I said.”
Me: “I guess I still don’t understand what a snow wave is. Tell me how it happened.”
“I was minding my own business and trying to ride a scooter in the deep snow. It wasn’t working very good. Then a snow wave came up and smacked me right in the face! ”
And now you know what it is called when blowing snow goes into your face.
