"Our snow was not only shaken from whitewash buckets down the sky, it came shawling out of the ground and swam and drifted out of the arms and hands and bodies of the trees; snow grew overnight on the roofs of the houses like a pure and grandfather moss, minutely ivied the walls and settled on the postman, opening the gate, like a dumb, numb thunderstorm of white, torn Christmas cards." Dylan Thomas

Here in Missouri, we, got20”.I read aloud theDylan Thomas poem to my husband. I am not a great one for poetry, but it scanned so beautifully!
We read "A Child's Christmas in Wales" every December. What a wonderful way to describe snow. No snow yet in CT, maybe this weekend.
Baltimore got all of three inches - and you'd have thought the world had come to an end. It snow here fairly often, and yet people act this way Every. Single. Time. Yeesh.
