Too Cold?

My maternal grandmother and grandfather didn't show much love between them, and often exchanged cross words. This poem come from one such times I remember.




                                                                I often heard him say,
                                                                  " It's just too cold                                              
                                                                                                 to snow."
                                                                I guess I believed it
                                                                   back then, but I
                                                                                                 didn't take
                                                                The time to look it up,
                                                                    or even question if this
                                                                                                 could be true.
                                                                 " Get some wood for
                                                                    the kitchen stove before
                                                                                                  the storm starts,"
                                                                  She'd nag.  Putting on
                                                                     the old worn coat,
                                                                                                   he'd mumble
                                                                   as he started for
                                                                      for the woodshed, " It's just too cold
                                                                                                    to snow.
