Had a bit of strong weather go through the area last night in those wee hours. I am sure we would have had more snow on the ground this morning if there had been less rain, sleet and ice. I am grateful no big limbs came down since I guessed 70-80 mph wind gusts but the local weather service reports 60-70 but still – nothing to sneer at in the middle of the night. It really shook the house and all the windows! Mom and I decided to stay put this morning and I got a nap in. This afternoon I sorted out some paint stuff and filled a tiny palette for travel.
wind hammered the house
last night preventing sleep while
close trees sang alongtree boughs scrape against
the edge of the roof, singing
with low vibratopeppered ice and snow
against the window all night
