Multiple choice:
Snow falls in winter. How does snow feel? Circle the two words.
Cold Dry Wet Hot
Blonde. No question about it. Though, when I asked her later, she gave me the same answer: Wet and Hot. I'm sure she's just yanking my chain.
However, the query "how does snow feel?" could be part of the problem. The question ought to be "what does snow feel like?" because the way it was phrased on the Weekly Reader handout, it sounds like it's looking into the psychology of snow. Let's try this again:
Snow falls in winter. How does snow feel? Circle the two words.
Angry Playful Happy Vengeful
How do you think the snow feels?

dude, WET AND HOT. what is wrong with you? ;p
Lol at the snow quiz answers. Have a wonderful weekend.
Snow feels hot when your mom overbundles you in a snow suit. I mostly remember freezing wrists, back in my snowy winter days.
You know, when the snowflakes approach the ground, or land on a warm surface like skin, I bet they feel hot and wet. Especially after the cold dry conditions under which they began their journey.
But I like Angry and Vengeful, too.
Why do I automatically think that snow feels vengeful?
And you know when you're kind of numb and really cold from snow, it kind of feels like it's burning? Or is that just me and my sensory issues?
Um. Ambivalent. Don't you read the "New Yorker"? Gah.
Despair. That's all the snow ever feels.
Playful and Happy, definitely! (But then, I live in Oregon, where snow is an event!)
I'm thinking snow is a bitch. So bitchy.
Snow feels sad because it goes too quickly. Well, here it does.
I am going to say it feels vengeful. I can hear it laughing wickedly as if falls knowing that it will cause such problems.
Now, I'm trying unsuccessfully to think what the "right" answer would have been. Cold, I guess, but, for the second adjective, I can't decide between the remaining three.
Snow starts out dry, but then it melts on your face and inside your boots and it's wet. And when you've been outside in the snow long enough, your fingers start to tingle and burn.
I'm going to have to go with "all of the above."
I think it depends upon where you live.
I think snow laughs as it falls, light and soft; it feel joyful, knowing that it will join with itself to soften man-made scars on the earth, bring delight to children who will revel in it, play with it, dine on it; it feels whimsical as it is shaped into people, animals, forts, and all sorts of amusements; it feels no fear at the thought of melting, because it knows it will become clouds again, perhaps to fall as rain on parched earth, perhaps to once more be light, fanciful snow.
As for what it feels like - if it falls 'round here, if feels like a wonder. A cold, fluffy, wet wonder.

satisfied?
I think it feel happy.
I think extreme hot and cold feel the same. It feels white to me.
i think it is pissed off at such an awful test question.
all of the above
(and there are times when you are so cold it burns... so I'll buy that it feels hot. I remember that sensation from playing in it as a kid)
I'm going for Angry and Vengeful, too. I think the girlie was right on the money with hot.
Oh snow is vengeful. Without a doubt.
Playful or vengeful, depending on my mood.
hehe, i'm still laughing at Flutter.
