Out of season, but here's my 1996 version (somehow not yet snatched up by 
Bolchazy, can you imagine) of "Let it snow," with the optional four lines of 
lead-in, which no one ever sings in English anyway:

[induruit foris homo nivis
ille tristis obtutu;
si quid saperet, plangeret;
"essem" mihi dixit "tu."]

extrinsecus est tempestas,
prope focum iuxta me stas;
cum loci nobis sit sat,
ninguat!  ninguat!  ninguat!

iri puto non hoc finitum,
Cererem tuli frunitum;
fax quaeque lumen vix dat -
ninguat!  ninguat!  ninguat!

post novissimum basium
sponte non domum ibo mea;
sed tuum propter amplexum
tota fervebo via!

foco vires elabuntur,
"vale" "vale" iam dicuntur -
sed te amo; amas?  amat!
ninguat!  ninguat!  ninguat!

          (Chris Brunelle, 1996)
