Soon come snow-packed ridges
Slippery trails along frosted lanes
Warnings of danger on our bridges,
Blizzards sweeping o’er the plains.
Blustery morns, wind chill factors
Slippery trails along frosted lanes
Snowplows mounted on big tractors
On a lighter note, candy canes!
Bundling against the chilling rains
Ponds freeze over slowly at first,
Slippery trails along frosted lanes
It never fails, a few pipes must burst.
Happy return of the holiday season
Ol’ Jack Frost paints the windowpanes
Given the circumstances, there’s a reason
Slippery trails along frosted lanes.
