As Predicted

The storm came as predicted;
It wasn’t a surprise.
We’d canceled plans as every
Weather forecast did advise.

With lots to keep us busy,
We hunkered down indoors
And even did some online shopping.
(Easier than stores!)

The snow’s still blowing sideways;
The roads have hidden ice
But in our cozy haven
It feels comfortable and nice.

Tomorrow we must travel;
I hope the storm abates.
We’ll wait until the morning
To see what trial awaits.

As season's tend to have their say, We're left to just get outta the way. And when the storm does finally pass. Tomorrow's travels with still need gas.

Isn't it wonderful that you have a cozy nest where you can warm your bones during winter! Just imagine how your family would cope if you lived in Paradise (California)! Another great write! Aloha! Rico

I saw this storm heading your way on the news this morning and all I could think was...I'm glad I'm not there. :) Nicely done Ilene

Another great write from your very witty and prolific quill, Ilene. If NY weather is like that of Colo, wait 5 minutes and it will change! Glad you liked the mouse-cheese write. Bob
