That is an
interesting request. I would say that blind has many connotations. Literally it refers to the
person who cannot see. On a more figurative level, it connotes foolishness in various areas. For
example, we sometimes say, "the blind lead the blind." Monkey is a bit more concrete.
In other words, theis specific. It is an animal. On a more connotative level, you can say that
it refers to people who fool around, usually children. We can say that children love to
"monkey around." When it comes to snow, thehas usually to do with purity, cleanness,
winter, Christmas. Finally, I should say that I am giving the connotations of someone who lives
in New York. For a more sophisticated answer see the link below and read my examples on
connotation, denotation, and the importance of historical context.
