Prediction

                A perfect weather system heading our way  
                Heavy rain for twenty-hours will stay
                Ice and sleet will pass us by and hit the north
                Snowfall for some but we don't have a choice

Sounds
              Before the storm a silence and stillness, then
              Sighing of the pines will slowly begin
               Doves in their choir will fill the cold air
              Crows busy cawing out their warnings fair

Sights
              Gray sky seems to touch winter laden earth
              Bare limbed trees shiver, squirrels eat dearth  
              Swaying of the pines in cold, damp air
              Slight easterly breeze brings a different flare

Storm
             Storm arrives hours later with a bang
             Strong pouring rain, lightning and thunder harangue
             Sleepy Chihuahua awakes with fright
             Sleep eludes us most of the night

I enjoyed the expanded weather forecast, Sara. I loved the imagery, and the cute doggie picture at the top. :-) Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Chihuahua's are rather nervous anyway, so yeah, I can imagine. My dogs and cats always hid during storms. Well done and a great read.

M.L., We had a female Chihuahua that was not afraid of the storm at all, but this little male gets so upset. I am going to get one of those thunder vests that I have seen advertised and see if that will help him be calmer. It puts pressure on them and holding him with some pressure at his chest seems to calm him some so I think the vests may work. Thanks for the nice review. Sara

Lasaad, It hasn't been too bad here but it is supposed to be colder tonight. As long as the power stays on we can make it. Your concern is considerate. Sara

Thank you, Valsa. I appreciate the time spent here reading and commenting on my work. This winter it has been up and down for us in the south but that is good to get a break from the deep cold air. Sara

Thank you, Michelle. We only got rain from the storm and a terrified Chihuahua trying to bark the storm away. Your visit is encouraging. Sara

Sara, that sounds like the storm of the year..Feeling fortunate we don’t have to cope with that. Our weather this winter has been so mild, I notice flowering cherry is on the way out, that’s very early. Mind you if we get a cold snap that will set things back. But nothing like your Prediction…stay warm Delice

Delice, Earlier in winter dailies sent out new green growth but that is yellow now. The camellias have bloomed but the white semi-doubled one's got hurt and most fell off. It has fluctuated between warm and freezing but we did not get any snow that stuck. We did get some snow twice. I am glad it did not stick and that we have had power the whole time. Thanks for the visit. It has been comfortable inside the house. Sara
