Cold winter.

Winter in North America is always cold and snowy. Sometimes, the heavy snow is brought by strong winds of class 11 and extremely low temperatures. Americans call these storms flying snow.

Because no one can see the blowing snow, snowstorms are usually described as dazzling.

Until about 120 years ago, the word flying snow had nothing to do with snow. It has several other meanings. One is a sharp blow, like hitting a ball with a stick. Another meaning is to shoot with a gun. The third is all class declarations or events that are extreme in the same class.

1870, a particularly violent snowstorm hit Iowa. Because this is the worst winter storm for a long time, a newspaper editor in a small town called this terrible storm flying snow. This way of using words spread all over the country in the next few years. Soon, all the particularly bad winter storms were called flying snow.

Although I don't like flying snow. Many people like snow. It changed everything around us. When the snow falls, the world seems inexplicably soft, safe and quiet. Snow, especially a lot of snow, covers everything.

But a lot of snow is a real problem. Heavy, Zita Law difficult to move. Clearing snow from roads and sidewalks is a hard job. People who are snowing have cleared a lot of snow.

This means that it has another meaning when it snows. Some people do a lot of work. It's snowing. You can explain to your friend that you can't go to see her tonight because you are snowing and working.

It is also possible that someone uses words to snow. The idea is to change someone's mind by making many pleasant but wrong statements or demands. That's snow blower.

For example, a boy might use snow blower to take a girl out. His clever snow sweeping words cover the real world around us like snowflakes. However, snow blower is different from Feixue, and it is easy to walk.

We hope you like our attempt to explain some common American winter expressions. That wish is that there is no snow blower.
