Another Storm Day
January 28, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout
Snow, snow and more snow
Every where we look or go.
Piled so high, you can't see
Is this how it's suppose to be.
School is cancelled another day
Another storm day is on the way.
No school, They\ve missed a lot
Will they remember all they're taught.
Can't build a snowman or house
Can't slide or even go out.
It's bitterly cold, keep a fire lit
So we don't feel Old Jack's bit.
You dress up in your warm clothes
But you feel the frost bite your nose.
Heavy socks to keep the heat in
It just feels there's no way to win.
You start to shovel, now you know
You're too old to toss all this snow.
Yor back is out, you run out of steam
It wasn't like this when I was a teen.
The years have passed me, now I'm old
Can't do what I use to so I am told.
Pay a boy to shovel the snow for you
Hard work that they don't want to do.
Another storm day, I'll just stay home
I'll just agree to leave the snow alone.
I'm too old for this, so others tell me
I'll look in the mirror and I'll agree.
Another day will pass us by again
Another storm will drive us insane.
When will this end and go away
We'll wait for spring another day.
But from what I hear this is really an unusually snowy and bitter winter for nearly everyone in North America, including those of us in the semi tropics.
