"Here it is, the first day of winter, and there's not a bit of snow on the ground!"<BR><BR> "I can't think of anything more disgusting." he adds glumly, sitting onn the bicycle seat and resting his head on the handlebars.<BR><BR> "?"

It's snowing!!" he runs down the street, waving his arms.<BR><BR> He runs, yelling, "Get your sleds! Get your skis! Get your toboggans! Winter is here! It's snowing!!" Lucy, Snoopy, Patty and Violet all turn and stare at him. Patty and Violet are with a pram bavy carriage.<BR><BR> "Winter is here!" Patty cries, running after Charlie Brown. "Winter is here!!" Lucy echoes.<BR><BR> All the kids, now including Shermy and Schroeder (with an ice hockey stick) are dressed in snowsuits. Lucy is on a sled. Snoopy wears a dog coat.
