Snow Biking in Frigid Weather

that red car in the background has bald tires and
is covered in snow, snow adhering to ice to windshield.
it's 19 degrees and the dog's breath hangs in the air,
her snout covered in snow, she loves the snow.
It's a snow day!  we shout, the bike, the dog and me.
Stephen hovers in his slippers on the front porch,
safely snuggled in his down coat and Deer Trail hat.
Off we go, then, no the dog can't go so she scampers
inside to resume her nap, and I head off boldly,
rather unwisely as that ice frozen under that snow
makes the going treacherous but fun!
Snow day, bike day, cold day!
