Synonymous with cold, So welcome at New Years, Silently the flakes fall Serenely and softly. Soon, the chillness will bring Sudden and sharp changes: Strong storms and stinging sleet.

It's certainly not welcome here in Newfoundland either, Andrea! Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

In my part of Canada (Newfoundland), we had a little snow before Christmas and we are having a very light snowfall today. The storms will come in January and I am not looking forward to it!!! Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Happy New Year!
