This composition reflects the three phases of a snowstorm: Snow Warning, Snow Fall, and Playing in the Snow. Drawing from the composer's experience in the northern United States, the piece begins with the anxiety of a snowstorm warning, portrayed through clear and rhythmic playing. The second phase represents snowflakes gently falling, with the energy growing without rushing. The final phase captures the joy of playing in the snow after the storm has passed, with a light-hearted, celebratory feeling.
