Oh this brings back memories for me. Sailing on the QE2 on a COLD October crossing from Southampton to NYC in 2002 we were south of Greenland and I enjoyed walking the decks late at night when they were empty. One night was passed thru a snow squall. no one on deck but me. large flakes of snow falling all around. and the glow of the Cunard red funnel creating a halo effect in the falling snow. But only a dusting of snow formed on the decks. it was gone in hours. Most passengers probably had no idea that it even snowed. Such a delightful memory!!! THANKS CHRIS!
It was only a few months ago that i was on board QM2 and walking the streets of NYC in shorts and t-shirt. Whatever the time of year, both destinations are always wonderful!
Once when I was working on QM2 as a bar waiter we had a bad winter storm the day before New York. When I had to go to the Terrace Bar for something on the morning we arrived there were six inch, horizontal icicles on the steel railing around the pool from the wind
Hi Chris, I guess the afternoon Swim Class and Water Aerobics have been cancelled for today, hmm ?? No "Tea by the Sea" for today, guests. Although for the kiddies if enough participate, we might have a "Slushy Snow Man building contest after Sail Away !!" he he Merry Merry from Montreal. We've got a dusting of snow on the ground today, more to come on Monday, and then we enter a cold/dry spell for a few days. It might not be a Very White Christmas again this year. Boooooo...
WINTER'S SNOW & LOVE - 2024 ** Over the heads of all I meet Falls winter's life giving snow. Upon the rooftops and the streets Filling the sky and earth below. Dancing, swirling, skimming along, Like the snows of yesteryears. There's lots of ice on the windows As my lashes freeze over with tears. It's so cold; it's too cold to snow Yet the snow continues to fall. The land is covered blanket white As the winter winds wail their call. There's a red-hot fire awaiting me That will thaw out my every part. It's not the glow of a fireplace But the love that dwells in my heart. By T om Zart
WINTER'S COLD DAYS & SNOWFALL - 2024 ** The cold winds of winter play tunes with the trees Though now they sound different when stripped of their leaves. Our warm days have gone and for spring we must wait And all who are in love pray it won't be too late. The snow has piled high on the rooftops of town As small birds huddle in the bushes they’ve found. Everywhere are snowmen standing as guards While children throw snowballs from forts in their yards. Winter’s cold days are dreary and often cruel But their hardships are used by God as a tool. His reasons for seasons fit His grand plan To strengthen the souls of both woman and man. By Tom Zart

So pretty.
Great musical score. I sailed QM2 from New York in 2015 in a snow storm at night.. Wonderful experience.
Ahhh how nice wish I was on it now
Wow ❤
I think the snow makes the QM2 look even lovelier.
Must be lovely to actually be on the ship when it snows like this

Love the snowman at the end but I think it looks a bit like a dalek. Oh well! Merry Christmas , Chris.

WINTER'S SNOW & LOVE - 2024 **
Over the heads of all I meet
Falls winter's life giving snow.
Upon the rooftops and the streets
Filling the sky and earth below.
Dancing, swirling, skimming along,
Like the snows of yesteryears.
There's lots of ice on the windows
As my lashes freeze over with tears.
It's so cold; it's too cold to snow
Yet the snow continues to fall.
The land is covered blanket white
As the winter winds wail their call.
There's a red-hot fire awaiting me
That will thaw out my every part.
It's not the glow of a fireplace
But the love that dwells in my heart.

The snow is slippery; I'm afraid of falling due to the slippery snow and then falling into the sea.

And all who are in love pray it won't be too late.

As small birds huddle in the bushes they’ve found.
Everywhere are snowmen standing as guards
While children throw snowballs from forts in their yards.
