I've lived a year and a half of my life on 2 islands; the largest island in the world, Greenland, and the remaining half-year, a week at a time, on Pelee Island, the largest Lake Erie island.

No Business Like “Snow Business”…
Those fluffy flakes fall at speeds between 1 and 3 miles per hour.
Home Sweet Homes…
Eric the Red, upon his exile from Iceland, would up on the island and named it Greenland, hoping the pleasant name would attract settlers.
