Where has the snow gone?

Where has the snow gone?
Winter is snow,
Winter is cold.
Yet something has changed.

It is hot,
Hitting 60 degrees
The snow is gone
The grass is seen

What have we done
To deserve such a thing?
It is only January,
But the rains have come.

Vermont is known
For many things
The skiing and ski resorts
The snow and the maple syrup

But how can we
Keep our reputation strong
If stange things happen
Warm, rainy things?

On January 9, 2008
The snow was gone
it was 52 degrees at 6:30 a.m.
The snow had left

Grass

Grass
Is not
Inclined to obey
The calendar.
It's hard
To convince
A multitude of little green minds
That it's not spring
At all.
They just keep growing
Anyway.
