In the pines, far down below
In the coldest winter breeze
We find no shelter from the storm
As it whips through frozen trees
Icy pellets whistle by
Like meteors from space
The old man has awakened
Brushing snow off from his face
He smiles a rather frosty grin
No comfort does he bring
His frigid presence chases away
The warmth to which we cling
He seems to find such pleasure
In coating the lands in white
Exhaling his breath, quite merrily
Throughout the winter’s night

Nice tribute to winter. We hardly get snow where I live and we like it that way. Snow drops in 3 weeks he he he. or may two.

We’ve been very lucky, this is just the second snow and there’s really nothing to speak of, maybe 1/2 inch. I hope it stays this way 🙂

It is supposed to be milder by 5.5 degrees and less snow than last year according to the farmer’s almanac this is so for all of North America. Doesn’t mean there will be no snow just means less.

Sounds good to me. No snow sounds better, though. I’m an autumn girl, love the fall 🙂

Autumn is my favorite season as well. Where I live there is a splach of color but no where’s near what back east has. I am an easterner raised and bred and most say everything associated with fall like the harvest, halloween and all the other activities I truly miss. One day I will have to make it back there for the fall season. Be well.
