It made me think of my younger brother's song "Cold Cold Snow" that he wrote several years ago. It's a favourite winter song of mine. There are some great lyrics in there...
Gently falling
Oh you're calling
Me to come and play
How can I say no to that snow
And ivory world that waits
Green, you can bury the (distracting) green
I don't need it
You can blanket it beneath you
Cold cold snowing
Better when you're blowing
I love you more than the rain
Drowned this place in cold embraces
I have no need for roads

I've listened to it on repeat this morning more than ten times already...
Here are some shots of the snow so far... It started snowing Thursday, late afternoon, and it snowed constantly until late Friday afternoon! Quite the first snowfall! Yesterday, I don't think there was any snow that fell - it was sunny in the morning and then cloudy for the rest of the day. It was a great chance for everyone to get caught up on clearing their snow... or hopefully they did before waking up to more this morning! The superintendent of the building across the street has already cleared his walkways before 9 am. Shame that he'll have to do it again by noon... Oh winter, you think you're so funny...
This first shot is from my walk to work Friday morning - I took it with my mittens on!
And here's an artistic shot that I did mostly with my dad in mind... My camera had difficulty focusing in on the snow while seeing the Legislature in the back...but it still looks neat. I think.
