January

Juggernaut winds howling south;
Arctic colds, chill, in their mouths.
No respite through winter days
Unless north creep sunshine’s rays.
And the groundhog comes too late
Relegating to its fate
Year’s first month a gray estate.

Hello David Drowley, so nice to meet you. You have described January very well. The Ground Hog does not make it's appearance until next month. Have a nice day my friend.
