streams are frozen and the roads are sometimes covered with slippery ice or deep snow. It is snowy, foggy and frosty. The trees are bare because bitter winds stripped them of all leaves. In spring nature awakens from her long winter sleep. The trees are filled with new life. The weather gets gradually warmer The fields and meadows are covered with fresh green grass. The sky is blue and cloudless. At night millions of stars shine in the darkness. When summer comes the weather gets warmer and sometimes it’s very hot. Sometimes the sky is overcast with heavy clouds. There are storms with thunder, lightning and hail. In autumn days get shorter and the nights longer. The woods turn yellow and brown, leaves begin to fall from the trees. The sky is grey and it often rains.
