Winter Is Here

The wind is howling.
The flakes are falling.
The snow is sticking.
The drifts are growing.
The ice is dripping.
The dog is bounding.
The squirrels are scurrying.
The birds are huddling.
The children are slipping, digging, skating, building, sledding . . .

Why is this all happening?

It's winter!
Winter is here!
