Snow (Jesse Winchester) – great song by a Southerner who fled to Canada to beat the draft. It’s Cold Outside (The Choir): “And now it’s cold outside/And the rain is pouring down…” Garage classic. The Dark and the Rolling Sea (Al Stewart) Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot) There are, or course, a number of holiday-themed songs about snow, such as “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”. ---
