Never Seen the Like

Living in Scotland as I am
winters in recent years are quite calm
but in recent weeks forecast was bad
winds come from Siberia to cause alarm

Then this week heavy snow came
the likes we've not seen before
continuously it rained down everywhere
we had to stay in shutting the door

Everything was off buses, trains the lot
all the schools closed kids shout hurrah!
couldn't even clear your pathway
it was so cold below freezing all day

When will this snow decide to go away?
forecasts say there's more to come
well pull the hatches down and pray
hibernation - a good idea! yea I feel numb!

(Here in Scotland, it's been really cold with snow and bitter winds coming from the east, Siberia seems to be the culprit. But it's below freezing all the time with real cold winds and drifting snow, even the shops have no basics like bread and milk but no matter we'll survive.)
