January Weather Report from Maine, USA

DATE and TIME:
13 December at 9:45am

THE SKY
:
cloudy

TEMPERATURE:
21F/-6.1C

WIND:
The wind was blowing hard enough to redden our cheeks and noses!

ANIMALS:
We did not see any animals - not even a bird.

PLANTS:
The trees have no leaves, and everything is covered with SNOW! Finally! We only have about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of snow, but it is enough to play in. At the end of our school day it started to hail. Some of us had never seen hail before. It was very small hail and it bounced high off the ground. It was thundering too, and the sky was very dark. The weather forecast is for rain tonight, and that will spoil our snow. We really hope the weather forecast is wrong, but we will let you know.

CLOTHES:
Long sleeves, sweaters, long pants, snow pants, boots, mittens, heavy jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, ear muffs.

GAMES:
Playing in the snow, making snow forts and snow people.

FAMILY ACTIVITIES:
Sitting near the fire and having hot chocolate. If we have enough snow -  sledding; making snowmen; skiing.
HOLIDAYS:
1 January is New Year's Day
16 January is Martin Luther King's birthday. He helped to achieve racial equality.
