SNOW is up on the Weather Thesaurus. So, if you need sensory description, symbolism, mood enhancers or cliches to be wary of, check it out. There's a good selection of other Weather Phenomena in the sidebar as well.

I was looking for some inspiration to help me write my steamy romance scene and I found it! But then, something is wrong with it so I had to do my best.

A Picture's Worth 50 Words

Try it!
