It's Winter in Wonderland

The snow has been falling with no end in sight,
It's drifting and piling all day and all night.
The driveway is deep and the porch lights are buried,
The icicles' dripping with speed that's unharried.
The roof is so full there's no room for the snow,
So it's falling in waves t'ward the house - watch it go!
Now on this Christmas as snow keeps a-comin'
We're snug in our house, doing nothing - just bummin'.
We're grateful for heat, and our four-wheel-drive,
And the moisture that thru summer keeps us alive.
A wondrous day we have had, all in white -
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!
Check it out - the worlds first anti-gravity icicles! I've never seen them go straight for the house before...for a minute I thought our house was crooked!
This is what happens when the snow gets so heavy it falls off the roof - but freezes on the way down! Also note the horizontal icicles that were gouging holes in my window screens (until Dillon kindly walked through the snow to knock them down!). This is a very cool example of nature at its best!
