We are having snow, windchills, white outs. My feet are freezing! I am ready to not ever read this one again. But if you are not living it, now you can FEEL it like the rest of us.

As long as they don't actually die! from not being able to snowbird it this year... Sure wish I could, but it's not in the cards, I guess. Pretty brutal in Chicago e/o/January on, right through mid-March, they're saying. ~ Poe Lar Vortechs

Agree with that! Wasn’t trying for that twist in the title. I’d love to have a little bit of your snow. We don’t have any so far. Stay warm and safe!

Malta's weather is mild but I can understand that in the North, it can be very cold. Great haiku. ~~
