Thursday 9:30 Coffee Break: Let It Snow

Posted at 7:37 AM on December 3, 2009 by Jill Riley (34 Comments)
Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

Today's forecast:
Cloudy with scattered snow showers. Highs 25 to 30. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 40 percent.
Tonight
Cloudy. Scattered flurries. Lows around 15. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.
Tomorrow:
Cloudy. Scattered flurries. Highs around 25. West winds 10 to 15 mph.

In that case, I would say today's coffee break theme calls for snow songs. Or songs appropriate for the season. Tis the coffee break for the snow songs, fa la la la la, la la, la la.

You have to do the best snow song ever - "Let it Snow" A million people have covered this song, but I think Dean Martin's version is still the best!

Another classic is "Baby its Cold Outside". The Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel version is interesting.
