It looks as if winter is coming - or that's what the weathermen say,
With temperatures plunging past freezing, and huge falls of snow on the way.
The coldest that most can remember - like the winter just after the War,
Bringing the sort of conditions that will freeze people's bones to the core.
And it seems that it's set to continue for many weeks into the year,
With March being suggested as likely before all the snowdrifts are clear.
It all sounds a little bit frightening; we're not used to winters like that,
When everyone out for five minutes needs gloves plus a warm furry hat.
And things could become very awkward for all those who must get to work,
For within our bus and train systems a great many problems would lurk.
The cost of home heating would rocket, and still mightn't keep out the cold,
With knowledge of methods of coping now just in the minds of the old.
But maybe the cold spell won't happen, or else it will not last as long
For how many times has it happened, that forecasts have turned out all wrong?
