Arctic Blasts

Cold air, strong wind, high snowbanks, with sun still shining through A brisk, clear, walk will wake you up from all that you do Branches squeaking all around from the wind that blows Winter’s endurance is stronger than anyone knows Frozen snowballs are scattered across the pavement on the street Slippery ice patches are everywhere to look out for, under your feet This is what you see in the mountains from many arctic blasts While the long winter shows its mighty force, for as long as it lasts Heidi Sands 2/26/19
