This forecast isn’t nice,
Rain, sleet and ice…
Roads are slick
So get home quick,
Before roads are compromised!

“HEINZ-57” WEATHER
Don’t want to complain my friends,
But New England weather tends…
To often be
Full of variety,
Whatever the overcast sends.
–
This morning we started with rain,
Snow flakes and sleet once again…
Often all three
In waves like the sea,
The morning a dreary refrain.
–
It stopped in the afternoon,
The sunlight made its way out soon…
Our roads will have dried
By my midnight ride,
Any black ice well-lit by the moon!

HOT TO TROT?
The rain forecast for last night
In these parts is not in sight…
Most “hottened” tots
Are in A.C.-ed spots,
Temperature’s as high as a kite!

2ND SNOW HAIKU
Light rain/snow mixing,
South of the border…an inch…
Freezing rain tonight.

FIRST STORM DRIVE
I know how West Virginians felt after Sandy,
Before starting out I felt randy…
Nervous of this time,
An ice-and snow climb,
When rain froze, would be a real dandy!
–
Starting out it was almost pretty,
Main Street was wet and gritty…
One Forty-Six North
We all sallied forth,
It really slowed down near the city!
–
Bumper-to-bumper, three lanes,
The weaving ones trying to make gains…
The only one moving
Was the “fast” lane, behooving
My moving into that lane.
–
Overall it took two hours, plus,
Normally forty minutes, no fuss…
With most of the time
Within city lines,
Going home will see a frozen crust!
