Just another
Oregon Winter Day Valley Feels Its First Day of Snow in 2021 STORY BY HIKARI KAWAI The day began with a moody, brisk, gray morning. Nothing very significant, just another winter day in Oregon. Suddenly around noon, there is something more solid than rain falling onto the ground, barely enough for anyone to give much thought to. Time progressed, and so
did the significance of the weather outside. Now there are white fluffs falling down onto the ground. There are excited voices out on the street as people step outside to marvel at the flurry of white surrounding them. Cars slow down, struggling to maneuver in this sudden change in weather.

Snow clings onto the tree branches and dead leaves.

Big fluffs of snowflakes fall, layering more and more snow on the street and all around Corvallis.
