early snow

According to the Farmer’s Almanac

early December is expected to be colder than normal

in the northeast with snows arriving mid-month.

While my wife swears by the almanac

I tend to remain a day-to-day pragmatist

and just take what comes.

This year the snows came even earlier 

than the aforementioned forecasters predicted;

the unfinished chores dormant under a layer 

of white insulation, an early closure 

to the listing of noble ambitions.
