The weather is great
A beautiful sunset
From my window, I could see
The golden dune grass
Waving in the soft breeze
This was while the weather reporters
Were predicting a huge snowstorm
Seven to ten inches; I proclaimed:
There shall be no snow before its time
Schools were canceled for two days
The next day; no snow; it was not time
That evening I could not see the sun and
It started to spit snow after dark
The next morning; I had to say: It is time
Six to twelve inches of lovely white snow
I started my snowblower
Worked for two hours clearing the drive
Also my parking area and some of the road
County workers had not yet arrived
There was no traffic except for one truck
It is February; the groundhog saw its shadow
