So in English, when we say
0
350
1580
00:01
it is a winter wonderland outside
1
1930
3090
00:05
we mean that we have just gotten a snowfall
2
5020
3760
00:08
and that there is a beautiful blanket of snow on everything.
3
8780
5000
00:14
Usually, when we have a snowfall like this,
4
14340
3440
00:17
and everything just looks really, really beautiful,
5
17780
3240
00:21
we refer to it as a winter wonderland.
6
21020
2620
00:23
You can see here that there is ice and snow on the trees,
7
23640
5000
00:29
there is a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground
8
29240
5000
00:34
and I'll keep walking here,
9
34470
1490
00:35
just so you can get a better sense
10
35960
1870
00:37
of what it looks like out here.
11
37830
3750
00:41
It is just a beautiful winter wonderland today.
12
41580
4060
00:45
This is the kind of snowfall
13
45640
2360
00:48
that we really like to have closer to Christmas.
14
48000
4320
00:52
When you wake up on Christmas Day,
15
52320
2770
00:55
if we have a snowfall like this we really, really like it.
16
55090

01:00
So, yesterday we had an ice storm
17
60700
3520
01:04
and you can see here that the ice storm,
18
64220
2470
01:06
we had what we call freezing rain.
19
66690
2700
01:09
So you can see that the trees,
20
69390
3260
01:12
they don't just have a little bit of snow on them,
21
72650
2280
01:14
but they also have a little bit of ice on them.
22
74930
2230
01:17
So, this is actually pretty rare,
23
77160
4000
01:21
it only happens one or times in the winter,
24
81160
2840
01:24
but yesterday it was raining,
25
84000
2420
01:26
but it was also below zero degrees Celsius.
26
86420
3050
01:29
So as the rain came down it froze to a lot of surfaces.
27
89470
4330
01:33
You can see a row of trees behind me here
28
93800
3060
01:36
that look really cool.
29
96860
1750
01:38
They all have a nice covering of ice on them
30
98610
3770
01:42
and a little bit of snow.
31
102380
1050
01:43
So, it's just a beautiful winter wonderful out here today.
32
103430

01:49
There you go, a nice view for you.
