The snow falls as it gets colder and colder every day.

The mountains get whiter and whiter day by day.

The icicles build up on my roof.  

The animals slowly go into hibernation.

Three months later, winter is done.

The snow melts.

The mountains are no longer white. 

The icicles are no longer there. 

The animals come out of hibernation. 

Now there is just a puddle of water in everyone’s backyard.
