Snowfall, For the Sunday Whirl Wordle, Dec 8, 2024

5 Replies

Snowfall

My breath leaves footprints on the window as I watch the fallen snow
holding as its prisoner all that lies below.
The wind shrieks out a warning for humans that might dare
to brave the ever-deepening drifts that they should beware
the captivating mounds of flakes that have drifted down
to spread blankets of reverie over the silent town.
For now, all problems frozen, covered up, put out of mind,
for how can we worry about that we cannot find?
The gale now howls release as it blows the snow away,
removing all that festers to return another day.

For the Sunday Whirl Wordle the words are:
human captivating drift fallen release now shrieks howl festers reverie breath prints

Weather, Part 2: Hail, Hail.

After I posted my original post, I found two other weather photos I had meant to post with it.  They are huge hailstones that fell during a July family reunion at my nephew’s house in Des Moines, Iowa.  The storm came up fast, scattering us into various shelters.

 

Originally, the photo below was the photo I thought I’d taken at that time, but checking out the dates, I discovered that I’d taken it on a beach in December.  It looks like conjoined hailstones forming the shape of a heart,  but I think that is unlikely. Any ideas of what it may be?

When I was little, life seemed like one long summer day,
But now, art in the sky promises rain.
When Mount Garcia dons his sobrero, you can usually expect rain.
April rain streams out from my neighbor’s rooftop.
But a rainbow soon promises
and produces, sun
\
And color vanished from the world as it was covered by snow….
as well as icicles which in the heat of the sun, melted slowly away.
Everchanging weather–either a blessing or a curse.

There’ll be a Change in the Weather

8 Replies

Well, the temperature today was a tad nippy, but so hot inside the stores where we shopped that I didn’t wear a coat. Inside of one minute’s time tonight, however, both my brother-in-law here in Sheridan, Wyoming  (via the weather channel on his phone) and forgottenman in Missouri (via Skype) informed me there’ll be a change in the weather here tomorrow.  Here is forgottenman’s message!

“High of 54 tomorrow morn in Sheridan, Wyoming, where you now are. Then the north wind kicks in. By mid-afternoon sparrows will be dropping outta the sky, froze solid. Small children in schoolyards are next. Skinny bellicose drunk cowboys trying to roll a cig on the range – well, they’ll drop near sunset.”

Wouldn’t he have made an entertaining weather man?
