Snow In All Its Glory (Maybe)

There is a little known, not so much talked about Archangel, named Fred "Icicles" Jackson.

Born, raised, and died, almost 6,000 years ago in the frozen Tundra, but 6,000 years ago, the Tundra wasn't frozen. That came about only because Fred has a special power after he reached the pearly gates and with a simple touch, he could freeze anything.

Needless to say, he doesn't come into close contact with the other Archangels. Last thing that needs to happen is if he touched their wings where they couldn't flap. The same thing applied to all the other souls that walked a wide berth of him. It wouldn't do to have millions of souls frozen in their tracks.

But God saw a plan for him as he had decided to create seasons, four of them to let those on earth know when the changes would come. For the longest time, God had planned to call the seasons, Spruce, Sunny, Later and Cold, but after some conversation with "Icicles" (God loved that nickname), he changed his mind and came up with instead, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

However, God had "Icicles" promise not to send tons of ice on the people.

"Icicles" came up with an idea and after testing it for several months in the frozen Tundra, he was ready. Instead of huge chunks of ice, he managed to granulate them into small droplets that were light to the touch, and still have that icy feel. "Icicles" even managed to have it set that when they fell from Heaven, the droplets would form and join together creating a blanket effect that pleased him very much. What pleased him even more is when night would fall, the snow would become colder and freeze somewhat.

That's the story but in case you didn't know, here is a little-known fact for you. The long jagged frozen spikes that hang from trees or gutters on a home were named after Fred. How this happened is easy. On a darkened night when people slept, he would fly into their homes and whisper the name in multiple languages. In three days', time (nights), Fred traveled to over a thousand places and left his mark upon the world.

God was so pleased that he made Fred the caretaker of winter.
