In my previous post, I presented some Arabic idioms that express similaritهثس with animals. In this post, I present other expressions that express similarities with other elements of natures. These expressions are not the only ones that exist, but they are commonly used in speech and writing. Please note that each one of these expressions can be expressed using (كـ) instead of (مثل), because they both serve the same function. So, we can say (بارد مثل الثلج) or (بارد كالثلج).
