Snow like wool and frost like ashes

Psalms 147 and 148:  On this last day of November, I woke up to a radio commentator saying that the month was the among the warmest on record. A November in Winnipeg usually means lots of snow and cold, but we've had a string of beautiful, above freezing days. My sons rode their bikes to school again today. But that may not last, since an Alberta Clipper (storm system) is coming our way tomorrow to dump snow on us and bury us in winter.
I don't want to bore readers with the weather, except these two psalms refer to snow and frost and ice. Its strange to get a weather forecast from biblical texts, but in light of the impending storm, here goes: "(God) gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes." (147: 16) and "Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling (God's) command!" (148: 7-8)
Walker-Jones says these two psalms feature God as Creator,  and show the connection between creation and justice. In Psalm 148, where all of creations are called to praise God, even the elements winter-weary Winnipeggers hate: snow and frost.  Yesterday's sermon on the first Sunday of Advent had a similar theme: as we move to celebrating the incarnation of God through the infant Jesus, all of aspects of our lives are important to God and can be used to honour God, not just what we see as "spiritual".  Psalm 147 says God takes pleasure in those who love God, and God sends the weather, and the word. Psalm 148 starts out with creatures above and below being urged to praise God, wild things and cattle, young and old men and women: "Let them praise the name of the Lord, for (God's) name alone is exalted; (God's) glory is above  earth and heaven." (v. 13)
