Think about snow to keep cool.

Think snow to beat the heat

It’s more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit

In many states in the Midwest

And up and down the Eastern seaboard

From Florida to New York

It’s hot! hot! hot!

- – -

In addition to being indoors

And running the air to beat the heat

Turn on sprinklers and go swimming

Let it become frigid in your mind

Cool off and think snow

- – -

Imagine being in the Arctic and Antarctic Zones

Playing with polar bears, seals, walruses

Rein-deers, caribou, and penguins

See how bleak it is

Reflect on the cold, blistering, roaring winds

Think terrible winters

With drifting snow 

And horrible snowstorms

- – -

Visualize being stuck in your vehicle in snow

The airports being closed

Being unable to take your flight

Experience electrical power outages

Caused by frozen power lines

In spite of these things have fun

Playing in the snow

- – -

Bundle up

Put on your snow boots and scarf 

Build a snowman with your kids

Have a snow fight

Ski and go sledging

Think snow to help

Keep cool during this heat wave

    I’m feeling the same way too, especially because I’m living in a tropical area. :)

    Seems like a great idea to beat the heat.

    People are never happy…the ones who have snow would like to live in warm places, while the ones that are blessed with Sun want to cool down…how can you please a person? :)
