Original
Tim could not believe it. Overnight, the world had changed from a grey, dark mess to a beautiful white wonderland. He walked outside onto the snow and gazed at it in wonder. Tim had never seen anything like it in the ten years that he had been living in Auckland, and he didn't think that he would ever see it again.He spun around in the swirling white but regretted it when he fell over. He got up quickly, hoping nobody had seen him. Tim's annoying little sister came sprinting out into the street, screaming with excitement. She begged him to help her make a snowman so they knelt on the pavement and started to scoop up as much snow as they could into a pail. After about an hour, the snowman was huge and Tim was freezing. He carefully stepped over the ice, back into the house for some hot chocolate.

Tim could not believe it. Overnight, the Earth had changed from a grey, dark mess to an ugly white wonderland. He strolled outside onto the snow and looked at it in dread.

So there. Nothing spectacular but at least it's done.
