Cold Snap

Reports of a cold snap

heading down from Canada
a frigid mass of cold air
ice crystals on citrus fruit,
highways like skating rinks
layered clothing a must
to withstand the winter freeze.   

The sun will shine through

during this polar front
making the less experienced
dress inappropriately
chilling to the bone 

forcing them inside with a fire

and the family dog close by

to keep them warm.
