 In this cultural history of snow, Bernard Mergen explores our ambivalent relationship with nature's crystalline gift. Beginning with the debate between Thomas Jefferson and Noah Webster over the nature of winter weather, Mergen then draws from works of art, poetry, literature, film, history, and public policy to demonstrate how Americans have loved, hated, measured, depicted, and frolicked in snow for more than three hundred years.
