Winter woes

My hands, wrists, tricep and lower back hurt from trying to crack the sheet of ice on my driveway. I have to be glad I'm here in Central Jersey and not in Iowa. My dad, who's visiting my sister reports 2-degree temperatures, below-freezing wind chills and way too much snow. I hate winter.

One thought on “Winter woes”

  1. try salt. Here in western South Dakota, we have been having below zero temps and -50 degree windchills for more than a week now… we are a bit drier than you guys, thank the Lord. But do get you a bag of salt and save yourself from injury.I like your poetry.
