A high school girl walks to the station for school.
They don't use stockings or tights even on the coldest day.
I believe the bare legs in the snow day is bad for their health.

I can't understand why they put on high-heels shoes on such a day.
And also I can't do why some business men use the usual shoes in the heavy snow.
But I understand too that they have reasons to go into their lives in the heavy snow.

The boy throw a snow ball to the back of the girls firstly.
And suddenly a short snow ball fight begins.
Their play suddenly reminds me the sentences in the last article of Unni Skaaland Ellingsen.
I remember it by heart.

She wrote;
When I woke up the first morning, I saw we had got 20 cm new snow. I found my camera and opened the door to the terrasse. That was all I could manage. I walked into the snow and placed a candle, lit it and there it was. My little hope.
My daughter is coming home this afternoon. I don't think we will have a snowball fight. But I will make her a round one, And place it in her hand.

I couldn't walk with looking up my umbrella hiding my tears and the three young ones passed by me. Soon I could stop weeping in the snow and started sentimental walking.
