Snow

Snow has a smell.  Cold, clear, clean.
Specific.

Snow has a sound.  Deep, dragging crunch.
Pulling.

Snow has a touch.  Shocking, dry then wet.
Compressing.

Snow has a look.  White, thick, surgical.
Tracery.

Snow has a taste.  Chew, melt, refresh.
Chilling.

Snow has a feeling.  Rest, slow, sleep.
Blanketing.

Snow has a purpose.  Softening, hiding, scrubbing.
Renewal.
