We got our first snowfall last night. Its appearance moved me to compose this bit of doggerel about snow, and its impact on some of my fellow Ohioans:
The First Snow Of The Season
It’s bright outside and what’s the reason?
We’ve had our first snow of the season
We’ve seen a flake or two before
But today we got a whole lot more
So now the ground is oh so white
And the gelid air has a special bite
The cold and snow make a special code
Telling snowbirds they should hit the road
Farewell for now, my thin-blooded friends
We’ll meet again when winter ends!
