polar vortex intensifies
as bitter arctic air
ushers in the new year
winter storm conditions
stir gusts of wind
scattering good wishes
prevailing disturbances
eventually converge
as high chance
depression and instability
will soon dissipate
accumulation of good cheer
will undoubtedly release
barometric pressure
if you plan a trip to the
intertropical convergence zone
you’ll be trading
your ice storm warning for
a high probability of a warm front
with a heavy surf watch
here or there
it’s a meteorological
Happy New Year !
