- Snow angel
A snow angel is a human-made depression formed in an area of
snow in the shape of anangel . Making snow angels is a common childhoodgame .Technique
The creation of the snow angel is a simple process. The first step is to find an undisturbed plane of snow. The next step is to lie supine, spread-eagled in the center of the snow. The limbs are then swept back and forth, creating a trough through the snow. When it is finished, the snow angel should have the appearance of an angel, the movement of the arms having formed wings, and that of the legs having formed a gown.
