Winter Blues Concluded

I lay in my frozen bed, teeth ruthlessly chattering.
Intense darkness made me rise and stretch a bit. 
The useless coverlet hardly warmed my shoulders,
As from outside thunder boomed and rattled panes.
An electric storm evolved into terrible lightening,
Flashes that threatened destruction, yet I looked out.
Icicles hung along the wires and ledges all around.
Down below the bora-like gale even uprooted some trees.
Not a vehicle was in sight, all returned to their homes. 
But what is home without heat?  Might as well try an igloo.
It’s warmer and full of shelter there I’m sure.

Brr I could feel winters chill in your verse Victor. They say we might get a beast from the east or a snow bomb very soon. Tom
