Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts winter weather.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

18 Inches of Snow was born and frozen as a young one on the day after the 2010 February snow storm that hit the East Coast with 29.7 inches of snow in five or six days.  18 Inches was named that because the first snow storm that hit dumped an average of between 18 and 21 inches.
