Barricade

   Below zero temperature 
     wind howls at my cheek
   I ponder braving the cold
     No, I shan’t even take a peek

   For it’s warm here by the fire
     with you at my side
  The hearth crackles and roars ~
     barricades our shores

Best place to be Gershon. Here up North in Upstate NY is a given. 15 degrees today plus windchill factor. You made the right choice... Michael
