Winter Is Coming…

Dear Santa,

It’s been awhile since my last letter so hoping you’ll take that into consideration when reading my request. You have always been good to me so if possible…all I want for Christmas is SNOW!!! You know…the cold, fluffy, white stuff? If you could deliver say…15-20 cm to get us started that would be really awesome.
Thanks Santa!
