The First Snow

In Central New York, we are no strangers to snow whether it's lake-effect or a Nor'easter it's never a question of will we get it but how much and when. As the first snow hit this weekend it's now all about remembering the routine.

The First Snow

Into the cold I must go
Why it chose today I do not know

Earlier today than those before
For the shoveling I do abhor
Just to move from my door

To the car I brush, chisel and whack
Before I end up upon my back

From here it all looks so nice
Were it not for the ice

I have warmed the car
So that I may travel far
Only to find the roads subpar

Where the plows do go
I do not know
For it is the first snow...
