First Snow of the Year

The only version of Hawksley Workman’s “First Snow of the Year” I could find on YouTube right now is copyright controlled so instead, you get a kids’ choir version (which actually adds to the winter/Christmas feel!) One question I haven’t resolved – when I do my annual “first snow of the year” post, what defines […]
