First Winter, Then Fall
A Poem About Recent Weather in NYC (and Elsewhere)
It was a beautiful fall day
The sky had not a hint of cloud.
Winter's already been here one day
It was brief but it was LOUD.
.
.
.
Snow falling on the leaves still green
Branches breaking off a lot.
When it snows ere Halloween
Power outages we have got.
.
.
Record heat and record cold
Weather that's been very strange
Snowfall records a century old
Boys and girls: Say "climate change".

Post a CommentMany of the weather conditions around the planet have broken 50-100 year records during the past few years. Snow, floods, drought, fires, etc.
Yes, there is definitely a climate change for whatever reason.
