The First Snowfall ...

“Oh the first snowfall of the winter

Was a day that we all waited for …

Oh the first snowfall of the winter

Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear

Under wintry skies of gray

It was snowing hard all day

And it showed no signs of stoppin …

On the first snowfall of the winter

Oh, that first snowfall of the year …”

          ~ “The First Snowfall”

                   ~ written by 

       Paul Francis Webster & Sonny Burke

  ~ recorded by the wonderful Bing Crosby

                 on November 22, 1955

~ Crosby was the first popular singer

                  to record Christmas songs.

 All is quiet as the snow softly continues to fall as sunset draws near during the first snowfall of the season at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Though the first snow fell December 9, 2017, a few weeks before the official beginning of winter, it blanketed the late autumn landscape with the hushed beauty of winter.
