An Ode to the Polar Vortex in Minnesota

The vortex we now have is polar,
Coming from the cap.
The temperatures are deadly;
Climate change takes the rap.

The weather became lethal
Creating wind chills very low.
Temps are in the minus range;
It’s way too cold to snow.

Put on a hat and mittens!
The temps are below zero!
Your Mom’s advice is wise:
Keep skin covered if you go.

Minimize time outdoors—
Or consider staying in.
In a span of minutes,
Frostbite can begin.

A blanket, boots, and shovel
Plus a full gas tank in your car—
Be prepared for this weather
Even when you don’t go far.

Cabin fever is a problem,
This isn’t just a snow day.
Now we’re trapped inside
‘Til warmer weather comes our way.

There is nothing like Minnesota:
Reflections on white snow
Of blue sky and sparkling sun,
Even though it’s 45 below.
