Scarsdale Snow Poem and Snow Photos

More snow in Scarsdale and school is closed again! How deep is the snow and how many school days have been missed? We have lost count but will find out and let you know.

Spring is just a few weeks away but there's no sign of daffodils or crocuses buried deep beneath the ice. Mounds of packed snow may take weeks to melt.

Here's a poem from Scarsdale's own Deborah Skolnik from her Facebook Page, Gentle Scarsdale Satire  - (search for it on Facebook, request to be added and you'll be promptly approved.) In less than 2 weeks the page has grown to more than 300 local residents, amused by its slyly humorous daily verses.

Darn You,Snow!

Snow, you're like
a bad boyfriend.
This abusive relationship
has to end!

At first you were charming
and I was excited.
But now you're a stalker,
showing up uninvited.

Whenever you come here,
you just bring me down.
I fell on my tushie
in front of C-Town!

You're a bad influence
on the whole neighborhood.
The Abominable Snowman
bought a ranch in Edgewood.

And Quaker Ridge Quakers
have become Eskimos.
Fox Meadow foxes
are stuck on ice floes.

At Heathcote's five corners,
that car-clogged disgrace,
the slow traffic light
is MORE glacial in pace!

And here in Greenacres
there's been nothing green
since about two weeks
after last Halloween.

You need therapy, snow.
There's no give and take.
You always act cold
and you're always a flake!

And you're turning grey, too
you sad, aging fellow.
(Even worse, in some places,
I fear you've turned yellow.)

I'm dumping you for Spring, snow.
You've got awesome powers,
but Spring knows what I want--
Spring brings me flowers.

Due to the bad weather, here are a few closings and re-schedulings:
