He gives snow like wool, And scatters frost like ashes.

God's Personal Hand in Nature
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, contrast the modern, impersonal phrase "it snows" with the psalmist's declaration, "He gives snow." This verse is a call to see God's personal, active hand in all natural phenomena. Every snowflake and particle of frost is presented not as a random occurrence, but as a direct action from a God who is intimately involved with His creation.
