Spring Blues

Day after day, week after week—
Winter in spring is not what we seek.
Fluff in the spring is not a good deal,
It likes to slide and is like oatmeal.
It doesn’t last long before its breakable crust—
An unreliable one that’s hard to trust.
New snow is great, but enough is enough—
Time for stable spring snow, not more gooey stuff.
Yet spring is like this more often than not,
A time of transition before the weather turns hot.
And during this time when snow turns to mush,
And then from crusts to corn and more stable stuff.
There will be times when the danger is high—
That weak layers revive before they die.
Some prolonged warming in April or May—
May bring down the house & interrupt our play.
The potential is there for spring slides quite large,
For snow slabs releasing  as big as a barge.
For slides running BIG, full path and more—
And setting new records in La Nina lore.
So use care and caution in this land of deep snow—
And check the snowpack often as you head out and go.
