[Coco] Would anyone like some snow?

[Rob Rosenbrock]

It doesn't take much light at all. Snow will take whatever light is there, and reflect it all over. I see that every winter in Indiana.

Snow on the ground looks really nice, and I like the snowfall. (As long as I don't have to drive anywhere...)

The kids were making snowmen at 10pm in the "dark" with no lights whatsoever in the area.  I thought it was wicked.
