"Season of Opportunity"
by Ann Doss Helms
This year, a new snow machine for Christmas and a prolonged cold snap shortly afterward have combined to create a winter wonderland. Will, the snowmaster, has created a snow hill covering about 100 feet of side yard. Ice drips from branches, and snow caps the split-rail fence.
The sudden switch from green grass draws double-takes from drivers, and Christopher says other kids have been known to sneak into the yard and swipe a few snowballs.
