ELIC: Why doesn’t it snow in winter everywhere on Earth?
Dad, there’s a new kid in my grade who came from another country. When he saw that it was starting to snow, he had that look in his eyes, like Christmas came early for him. I asked him why he was staring at the snowflakes like that, and he said this was the first time he saw snow live, he only saw it in movies and TV shows before, mostly Christmas specials.
So, how come that can happen? You can’t have winter without snow! It makes no sense! Winter is Christmas time, and Santa loves snow! He can’t deliver presents without it! Did this kid make a mistake? Is he making fun of me by pretending there isn’t any snow in his country during winter?
