Notes About The Poem

-23 F / 50 degree wind chills this morning in Chicago

What's This About Their Rice 

Sniff, sniff, sniffle, sniff
  
   drips fall toward frozen ground

         clink, clink, clink ~ they're ice

I hope you're inside and warm and dry, I saw on the news it's colder in Chicago than the arctic!

Haven't stepped outdoors in almost 48 hours now...although the temperature's rising now: It's up to zero already! And here come three more inches of snow in an hour or two. Ain't we got fun?! :) gw

You got it. I'm at home all day today. I hope to be home tomorrow too, as it'll be minus 15 - 20 Fahrenheit at 7:00 a.m., (although eventually it may crack zero). See you in Spring!! :) gw

That's for sure! I've actually experienced the sniffle and the clink thrice in the Chicago area: In 1967, 1979, and 1994, when we had long sieges of cold, snow, and ice. This year I simply have to stay home for a few days, and it'll be above freezing (by Saturday.) Not all that terrible, really. ~ Gershon

Thanks much, Tom. My wife and I are grateful that our heater is working like a charm. Best wishes, Gershon
