Can't wait for winter
It's November 24 today and I just got better from a cold I developed on Sunday. I currently do not have snow at my house but I did on November 13, sadly it all melted overnight. Last year it snowed on November 14 and (surprisingly) it actually stayed! :) No such luck this year though, although once the snow does stay I will be making my yearly igloo and doing "penguin sledding", which is a "sport" that I made up last year. All you need is a snowy, decently steep hill and a winter jacket. The snow should be at least 5 cm thick. (Note the snow must not be touched for a day after it has snowed in order to make it settle) To make a track, go down on your stomach while wearing your winter jacket and push yourself down the hill, try to do the worm or something like that, as using your arms will mess up the snow around you and using your feet will put dent in the track. You should do this about 3 times until there is a half pipe shaped track track on your hill. You can make it straight or curvy. After that you start on the top of the track and (if there is no ice at the top of the hill) you can get a running start but if not the start on your stomach and use your arms to give yourself a boost.
