The Superior Express -

Coquettish February! You try to make the most of your fewer days. But, really, you get an extra day this year. Behave and be brave to let warmer air filter into the world.

You send snow, whether predicted or not. Your winds are bone-chilling and driven with force. Leaves scuttle across the yards and roads. Going around a corner into the wind sucks the breath right out of a person. Clouds come at will shadowing the earth making it seem colder than it really is.

Your sun may shine in the sky. Yet so far away that no heat reaches the earth. Fits the old saying “Pretty is as Pretty does.!” The bright light is deceiving until you are outside and realize that you need heavier coats or mittens or both.

A bit over two weeks to go this month. Maybe we can survive.
