My Winter

Sure it comes with shoveling,salting,sanding,scraping,snow plowing and snow blowing 
It also comes with so much more beauty that's well worth knowing 
Snow blockades for snowball fights
Playing king of the mountain on a blanket of white 
Explore tunnels into snow made forts 
There's snow angels in shapes and sizes of all sorts 
Take a break for tasty marshmallows in hot cocoa 
Hike back up to the top of the sledding hill and go
Have fun on tubes,saucers,sleds and skis
Watch out below for beautiful snow covered trees 
Snowboarding can give you such an adrenaline rush
Enjoy watching the sled dogs mush
Build some snow sculptures or a simple snowman 
Take a ride and enjoy snowmobiling,ice fishing or to the crazy outhouse races because you can 
Take time to catch snowflakes on your tounge 
No matter your age it makes you feel young 
Try out some snowshoeing or perhaps a kabogum run
Ice skating and ice hockey can also be fun 
Hunters appreciate snow for tracking their deer
For the U.P winter is a wonderful time of the year 
Tell stories sitting cozy with loved ones around a fire 
There's so much about winter in the U.P I desire 
This is only a small list of what makes winter in the U.P so super
It has so much more to offer, yah der ay I'm proud to be a yooper
Slip on a wet suit and surf the waves of Lake Superior 
Being the largest fresh water lake in the world she isn't known for being inferior 
Jump in a hot suana to get out of the cold
So many adventures and mysteries in the U.P to unfold
End your chilly day with a hot pasty, bowl of chili and a hot bath 
When you wake up tomorrow you will probably have to shovel a new path
The U.P in winter is worth visiting, it's a beautiful sight 
The U.P in winter is a beautiful winter wonderland delight
