Hi there, and whew! It's Friday, thank goodness, and time for a Weekend Challenge. I felt like mixing things up this weekend, and here's what I came up with:
- We got slammed with a foot and a half of snow today - and also Severina posted something that reminded me of Kate Bush's 50 Words for Snow. So grab bag prompt one will be a word for snow in one of many languages.
- A mixed bag of weather often means snow and rain -- prompt two will be a song with rain in the word, lyrics or theme.
- This weather is good for staying in and reading, so a third prompt will be a book title from the New York Times best seller list for a date in February.

Let me know if you are in, and I'll deal you the prompts!

Good luck and let's see if this mix inspires some words.
