I checked the long range weather forecast for February. I know it could change. Nevertheless, it was encouraging. No more Arctic freeze. The temperatures were low forties high and low thirties low the whole month. We will see. There are three more days left of the freeze. Then it will warm up a little. I still want to go away for a week. This winter. I really am tired of the cold.

The area was rife with rumor
I simply waited
I don’t trust weather forecasts
I kept though peering at the sky
Waiting for the first flakes
I even took some
Precautions:
Filled up my tub
With water
An outage
Could demonstrate
How much water
We wasted every day
And assume
Will always be there
Flushing the toilet
Reminds us of this
The supermarkets
Were impossibly busy
Yesterday
As if everyone
Needed bread and eggs
I viewed all this
With sorrow
We all should
Have this problem
Thousands of miles
Away
An country
Has millions
With nothing
They own
But their backs
And many broken
Waiting
Waiting
and despair
Unimaginable
And we are afraid
Of a few flakes
