My Grandma , the first time she came here in the North of Italy from Sicily during the winter looking the snow for the first time in her long life exclaimed : “What is that white stuff falling from the sky ?”
Once I was living in Arlington, TX. I got home from work about 1 a.m. and it was snowing, huge fluffy clingy flakes.A little girl about 8 years old was standing in front of a nearby apartment,( her family was right inside the open door).I spoke to her and she said, “What is it?” I explained it to her, (she was Nigerian, and spoke perfect English). She replied that it was so beautiful.I then proceeded to build her a small snowman. The awe and wonder on this child’s face was priceless.I suppose I must end this with a quote from a religious book, so I give you Luke 14:26, so much for Biblical family values.Oh, look it up, it says the same thing in the Greek.

Funny. But seriously, life must have been really scary for early man. No wonder they needed to invent gods.
