I loved to be sitting near the great big front window,
Watching the snow fall and covering the gates and trees.
There was a peacefulness in it that healed my soul,
But I didn’t think of having to drive in it gleefully.
I knew that we had to go to work the next day in the snow,
So, I was empathetic to those who dreaded the morning ride.
It wasn’t so much dealing with the usual bad manners,
It was when I tried to brake, the car would continue to slide.
I perceived that I wasn’t alone in my fear of the other cars.
I could read in their faces that they were as scared as me.
When I would tally the number of cars in the ditches,
I knew that driving as slowly as responsibly was the key.

i am happy to live in a part of the country where snow is a rarity until you get into the mountains outside of the city. I can appreciate looking at the snow-capped mountains without having to worry about driving in it.

Thanks for including the 3tc Regina. Our snow has almost gone, but it’s still cold and there’s more on the way!
