When you leave more space it can be distracting. When the word spaces line up in a vertical or diagonal line, it looks like a river of white space flowing through the paragraph.
I circled the *rivers* and spaces with a red pen to point out the areas I am talking about.
I inserted the letter i in three places to show how much closer the following words should be. The slant on the i between the-snowfall is way off. Please ignore that detail and just look at the amount of space.
