Misplaced Snowfall

Snow in South Georgia?
Hardly, you say,
But once in a blue moon
It happens that way.

It causes excitement,
And everyone hurries
To run outside
To witness the flurries.

It’s a beautiful sight
That doesn’t last long.
Our weather’s so fickle,
And snow doesn’t belong.

This rare occurrence
I’ve seen once or twice
Since I was a child.
I thought it was nice.

It carpets the ground;
Makes everything white.
It blankets the landscape,
And softens the night.

Uncommon anomaly,
We welcome you so.
A pleasant memory
Of playing in snow!
