It's snowing, it's storming: An Ode to Pittsburgh Winters

The nursery rhyme "It's raining, it's pouring" is thought to have originated in England as an ode to the country's rainy weather.  Here is a variation I wrote as an ode to Pittsburgh's recent snowy weather this winter.  I recommend singing it to the same tune.  Nursery rhymes are especially helpful for children because they build awareness of sounds and language, promote pre-literacy skills, and encourage social interaction.

It's snowing, it's storming,
Jack Frost gave us a warning:
Turn up the heat, wear socks on your feet,
Or you'll be cold in the morning!
