Sing Some Snow Tunes
By Staff in Arts & Entertainment on Feb 1, 2011 8:45PM
Last night, while reading up on the reports of the "Wow, Skilling got it right!" snowstorm just now hitting the area, we did a search for songs titled "Snowblind." Oddly enough, the more popular ones(Sabbath, Styx, Ace Frehley had nothing to do with actual snow. Since there are a lot of music junkies on staff, we did a long riff on songs about snow. Think of it as a playlist to keep you warm.
