There used to be winters before the weather became entertainment. <br />There was frost, rain, flooding and landslide one had to accept as norm, <br />unless it was of a disastrous dimension.1948 was so cold birds fell <br />from the sky and we had steal coal at the depot – a hole in the fence not <br />repaired before spring- the worker knew but looked away, this was a time <br />of social cohesion, we´re equally poor and recovering from a war <br /> Snow in Ohio, and we see cars skidding on icy roads, what a distraction <br />from our sheltered life, nature actually exists and we better show respect <br />if not nature will turn against us and shake us into obeisance.<br /><br />oskar hansen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weather-forecast-5/
