Ice Treachery ( Haiku)

As I look out this morning I see nothing that makes me want to venture out the door.  The  wind is howling and I can hear the sleet as it hits my windows.  The walks and roads are treacherous and travel is not advised.  I"m staying in where it is safe.

 

Ice Treachery

 

Winds howl their greetings

Sleet pings against window panes

Treachery afoot.

Great hiaku Audrey! We have gotten all snow up here thank goodness. It started with fine snow at 9:30, by 11 it was howling winds and heavy snow. We are under a winter storm warning until tomorrow morning. I went to my landlady's and told her to stay indoors and if she needs anything just pound on the wall!:) They are asking people to stay off the roads. They are talking 4-8" of snow. Please stay indoors and stay safe! I"m putting up my tree today!

Won't be long until we'll all be in the midst of winter. I've got to get new boots.

Great visual haiku! It's cold here but maybe not as cold as where you are. I can feel the sleet in your haiku. Brrrrr....

The winds are blowing, snow is flying and the roads are slick, the salt trucks are cruising the roads. Hate that white stuff.

As yet, we haven't had snow in southeast Massachusetts, but I heard it's coming today. Definitely do not look forward to the sleet!
