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 Upcoming Snowstorm

Author: siggy

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
