Welcome Old Man Winter

In towns east to west across so many nations From hills to valleys and the higher elevations Old man winter has paid his yearly visit to town Bone chilling temperatures dipping way down As he's announcing his arrival in late December This one the coldest one many can remember People all prepare for his next three month stay He was right on time this year for his first day December twenty first at the stroke of midnight Snow flakes fell like confetti in soft moonlight Blanketing many acres of land at a steady pace Sure that he covered every inch of the surface With the calm,gentle wind whistling to say hello To anybody who can hear it from down below In the morning residents will look outside when All know old man winter is visiting town again

With me, Old Man Winter has already worn out his welcome. We have had too much snow where I am. Everything is very nicely written with great descriptiveness and writing. Just take out a "C" in "accross"; the word is correctly spelled when there is just one.
