Well, as I sit here in sunny California, Colorado Springs where I live and usually work just suffered a blizzard that dumped at least 18 inches of snow in the surrounding area and closed the local military bases to all but the most essential of traffic for two days. As winter approaches, I thought it would be fun to think of some catch phrases for blizzards, snow days, and hours spent at home because you can’t get to work! So let’s hear it folks, what do you think would be some pithy sayings for cold snows?
Here’s a poem on blizzards to get your ideas started:
Blizzards
Snow falls:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down –
the blizzard
drifts its weight
deeper and deeper for three days
or sixty years, eh? Then
the sun! a clutter of
yellow and blue flakes –
Hairy looking trees stand out
in long alleys
over a wild solitude.
The man turns and there –
his solitary track stretched out
upon the world.
William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
