Snow Much to Read...

If I was a librarian in Florida,  I wouldn't have the opportunity to write this blog!  Here are some of my favorite snow books... check out at the Lemme Library! (Oh... but I would love to have a display of beach books out in December! 

May be I could move to Florida... hmmm)
