W is for Winter

“First it rained and then it blew;
Then it friz and then it snew;
Then it fogged and then it thew;
And very shortly after then
It blew and snew and thew again.”

I don’t know who wrote that poem, but I think it has been around a very long time.

Also, I should mention that these photos are from six years ago and are not a true reflection of the weather here today.

 

W is for winter.

    The poem seems to be included in Mount Rainier Nature News Notes, but no particular author. Winter is best described as changeable. The saying in Alberta is “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes”. It has been another abnormal winter here this year, with more snow, but also with about 5 sessions of freezing rain so far. Enough with the freezing rain already. Happy winter Anneli. Allan
