Snow Problem

In high school my calculus teacher once told us a story about as a child he would watch snowflakes fall and pretend they were soldiers. As each snowflake fell and melted, their death was not in vain because they would lower the temperature of the ground. And soon the following soldiers would begin to win their battle against the warm ground and begin to pile up.
In early October at least these snow soldiers gave it a chance.
Now they just fucking gave up.
