Life could be as easy, as making a snowman in the yard
Or playing in the fallen snow, and skating on the pond
But somehow things are different, and life can be so hard
Just remember to keep living, in the now and far beyond
FOWC with Fandango – Easy

Seems Frosty had gone a bit wild
Finally releasing his inner child
Christmas was here, he was full of good cheer
He’d wink when the snowladies smiled
But something went terribly wrong
Must have stayed by the fire too long
No longer jolly, all that’s left is his holly
Now they remember him, with a song

It’s official! At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr
Winter, in the morn, appears
Enticing everyone, with a flurry
Awakening the slumber of snowmen
Children, frolicking, on dunes of white
Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate
While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace
Longing for the first day of spring

The weatherman says we’re in for a major snow event…start your engines. You know you have to get to the grocery store for the most important three items on the list…milk, eggs & bread aka French Toast. What is it about snow that makes everyone crave this irresistibly delicious breakfast food?
Of course I’m kidding. But I really do want to know why people panic when a weather event is announced. It’s weather, it happens every day. And it’s not like we haven’t been through it before. The media hype is just that, hype. Unless you’re a transplant from Hawaii, most Northerners know how to handle the snow. You may even get a day off from work or school.
Look at it this way, it’s Winter. It’s going to snow. It’s going to sleet. Put on your Winter coat, go outside, build a snowman, have a snowball fight, flop in the snow and make a snow angel. Be a kid again. Then wait for the roads to clear, the deliveries made and then go buy your milk, eggs & bread. Make your French Toast and be sure to invite me over. I’ll bring the syrup. 😉
