Snow

Well …

My store closed at 3, sending us all out on the slippery highways slip-sliding away, my back aches from shoveling not once but twice (before the snow freezes overnight), the wife is trying to fly out to Canada (of all places!) tomorrow, I have a gazillion things to do at work (which closed early), I have to wait until schools open up tomorrow to drop the little ones off (that’s after shoveling yet again), brave the once-plowed roads timid drivers maniac drivers, and get some projects finished before 3 pm deadlines tomorrow.

But for now …

(cue the Nelson Riddle Orchestra)


Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping,
And I’ve bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm.
But if you’ll really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm!

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we’re still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!!!
