Winter Overload

Winter bought rights to long life ~ in command of blizzards, ice storms, unusable roads. Iced windshields, snowmen--whatever's on hand. Heat overuse caused great melt overload. Alas, Winter thawed--and found he'd been snowed. ~Snowed, in this sense, means overwhelmed with lies, taken advantage of~ December 13, 2021 For Winter Quintain Contest by Francine Roberts

Thank you, Milton. You made my day! I'm really glad I don't have to put up with most of those winter problems :)
