We had the rare experience of snow here in Syria! Some of our students had never seen it snow, and they all went crazy. It's a wet, heavy snow that packs into really nice, hard ice balls. They were just flabbergasted when we told them they couldn't throw snowballs. I made up a great story about a kid I knew growing up who lost an eye because someone hit him with a snowball. I heard my students telling all their friends! If you tell them it happened in America, they take it as the gospel truth! Other kids decided to make snow angels first thing in the morning, and are now sitting, cold and wet, in their classes.
