Kara’s almost fourteen the first time she experiences snow, and she’s so excited. They didn’t really have snow on Krypton because of environmental degradation, so when she awakens in the middle of the night to see snow for the first time flurrying outside her window? Well, she’s positively beside herself with glee!

It sounds different than rain. She’d gotten used to that sound—the pitter-patter of water droplets hitting the roof—but snow is different, more of a gentle splat as thick flakes land. That’s what wakes her, and once she realizes what it is, she’s dragging Alex out of bed, barely pausing to let her grab her coat and boots before they’re out the door playing in the snow.

Alex has so much to teach her: sledding, snowmen, snow angels, snow forts, and most importantly, snowball fights.

Eliza and Jeremiah are woken at 3 in the morning by loud squeals, finding their girls—one barefoot in her pjs and the other bundled up like a burrito—in the backyard soaked and giggling, snow covering every inch of them
