** ** Howling Blizzard Mists

You can see it clearly blitzing by from your window but outside it's so much worse
The fierce blizzard storm rages outside making it difficult anywhere for everyone to traverse
The raging icy winds and piling snow mounds
Can be a powerful and beautiful sight but make it pretty hard to walk the effectively frozen ground
The freezing wind, it bites at your face as the cold tries to chill you everywhere, fingers to soles
And it only continues harder as the blizzard outside further rolls
Of course there are a lot of people who get to relax while the storm rages on by staying warm at home
But for those who have to answer their works call
They have to get through the delays, concerns and snow that tries to entomb us all
It's difficult and some of us make it only to get sent home hours early making you question
Question the point of coming to work today which turned out to be a pretty fruitless task
Of course tomorrow will mean shoveling and spreading rock salt when the blizzard has passed
But for now you've finally made it home worn out and can just appreciate the snow
The way the sweeping winds combine with the icy snow to make a hazy, freezing mist
You get to savor it from indoors as the howling blizzard winds continue to blow
It may end up being a headache for a day or two but it's always so beautiful and picturesque while it lasts
