I, too, think that snow is magic, or at least one of nature's many wonders, and one of the most wonderful at that.
I like the drifting formating, it fits the theme perfectly.
The repetition of the single lines of the first stanza each as the last of one following is brilliant.
Then the theme itself is amazing, dreaming of snow falling at night makes me wish for actual snowfall during the time of the slumber... and who knows? Maybe that is exactly what's going on outside. There is nothing like waking up to a snowy scenery on a winter morning.
I really enjoyed this poem.
Oh to sleep and ride a golden chariot through the northern lights, join you in this poetic winter wonderland dream ... bliss ...thank you for such a great read and wonderful write ... :-)

With your words...I drifted into that silent, white slumber...I thought of the sparkling Christmas lights in the snow...Reality can wait...till I have had my fill of this white magic.
The font and format bring this poem alive...beautifully written, Fran.

You've titled this ' White MAGIC' and for me the word 'magic' seems to grow larger as the poem continues.. as if time is making magic out of something familiar, that white snow, frost, air.. that Winter brings. Your stanzas show the differences, the emotions about those changes too.. and that's all part of the MAGIC we each see and feel according to temperament or sense of being, again..
MAGIC? Perhaps.

This is magical writing! I was transported to different worlds. First -- how much I love your dynamic action words (sleeping, dreaming, drifting, flying) -- this MAKES the poem! I start out reading this narrator as sleeping/dreaming thru a white night & might awaken to a wonderland (typical predictable) . . . I was surprised the journey morphs into a long white night called "winter" (goes on & on, immersed in whiteness) . . . surprised yet again as we morph into the white night being an escape from reality & into imagination or creativity. So much magic being brought on by something as simple as a white night! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
