Caroline - Winter in NOLA


When it is winter in New Orleans
You never see snow,
But when you see it every few years
It is such a wonderful thing,
That schools all over the city
Will let the students leave class and exams
For this once in a lifetime treat.

Speaking of snowing in New Orleans,
Back when I believed in Santa Claus,
I begged him to bring us snow on Christmas Day 2004,
And that present was given to me. 
Strange huh? 

I’ll never forget my eight-inch snowman
Who melted within an hour. 

Caroline, age 16
