Weather Forecast

Weather Forecast. 
There used to be winters before the weather became entertainment. 
There was frost, rain, flooding and landslide one had to accept as norm, 
unless it was of a disastrous dimension. 1948 was so cold birds fell 
from the sky and we had steal coal at the depot – a hole in the fence not 
repaired before spring- the worker knew but looked away, this was a time 
of social cohesion, we´re equally poor and recovering from a war 
 Snow in Ohio, and we see cars skidding on icy roads, what a distraction 
from our sheltered life, nature actually exists and we better show respect
if not nature will turn against us and shake us into obeisance.

Love the social cohesion. Does nature actually exist? Thanks for the tip.
