Snow is the brightest sign of winter; it is always longed for. There is probably something special in that moment when the first snowflakes, whirling quietly in the air, slowly fall and touch the ground. The world seems to freeze, as if everything around, trees, buildings and mountains in the distance, watched with surprise this snowy miracle.

First, it fell in small grains, then covered the ground, city streets, roofs of houses, mountain peaks and hills in the vicinity of Ashgabat with fluffy white snowflakes, turning our capital into a fabulous city by morning.
