In Early March
*
because it started slowly
it fooled us into disbelief
once again the forecast wrong
winter’s surely in retreat
it fooled us into disbelief
fine, feathery flakes seemed harmless
winter’s surely in retreat
no need watch or worry now
fine, feathery flakes seemed harmless
we put away our shovels, gloves
no need to watch and worry now
and in the morning we’re snowed in
we put away our shovels, gloves
once again the forecast wrong
and in the morning we’re snowed in
because it started slowly

I thought about trying to write one on this lingering cold weather we’ve got. You captured the essence well.

Well that’s certainly true today in NYC! I was surprised the first 2 mornings last week I awoke to snow, but this morning I just sighed ant got out the snow shovel. (K)

We’ve been fooled here as well….too many times now. Apparently Spring is here but I am skeptical. I love the alliteration of “fine, feathery flakes”….
