Snojob

There's a lot to know about snow
from zero to thirty below 
and sometimes colder, although
I have to stay in when it's that cold

Snow starts as ice 
no two flakes the same
but if it's too warm 
it turns into  rain

On reaching the ground 
the flakes give a brief sigh
say hello to their comrades 
and pile up high

When the snow is fresh 
and I've just waxed my skis
I chase after the north wind
and sometimes, catch a sneeze

The tracks in the snow
tell us many a tale
of rabbits and mooses 
wolves, foxes and whales

Our snow house is warm
despite winter's cold
when tired my quinzhee
is a joy to behold

There's a lot to know about snow
from zero to thirty below 
and sometimes colder, although
I have to stay in when it's that cold
