Who's Up For A Snow Related Video?

The weatherman is predicting snow for today and the weekend (along with sleet and rain).  For those of you who actually LIKE snow, here's a video I looked forward to all year long when WGN played it on Garfield Goose and Friends.  (And that last comment lets you all know how ancient I am!)

If the weather gets too sloppy and the kids can’t get outside to build their own snowman this weekend, then sit them down in front of the computer and let them watch this version of Frosty the Snowman. Another favorite from my long ago childhood.  

Frosty the Snowman

Let it snow?

I don’t know about you but I look forward to the first snowfall of the year with a mixture of anticipation and dread.  Anticipation because who doesn’t love to see that first snow gently floating to the ground and softening the rough edges of bare branches.  Dread because driving in snow is slippery and over the past several months too many people have forgotten how to drive in slush.

But in “honor” of the snow that is expected on Saturday, whether it stays or melts right away, here is my favorite snow song – sorry about the commercial, but this was the clearest copy I could find.

12/13/2013 Notes from Nubi - Christmas Trivia #12

Christmas Trivia #12

While you would think that Jack Frost would be the one, it’s actually Suzy Snowflake who comes “tap, tap, tappin’ at your windowpane.” Mom always associates this song with the late Rosemary Clooney (aunt of George Clooney) who recorded it in 1951. In 1953 it was made into a short stop animation feature which was a staple on WGN for many years.

And since the topic of TV came up, do you know which star of a very popular current comedy series appeared in both the 1989 Christmas movies “Prancer” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation?"
