With apologies to George and Ira Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Bublé, and the entire entertainment industry

A snowy day...

...in Canton town

It had me up...

It had me down...

I viewed the morning...

with alarm...

How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed

And in snowy Canton town the sun was shining everywhere!
