I was snowed in for days
kept the fire going in the woodstove
plenty of food in the pantry
wind picked up the drifts
moved them to fencing
all the while I fed logs
into the crackling fire
waiting for the thaw

dVerse prompt to write a narrative. I am traveling in North Dakota and imagining what it would be like here in winter.

The sense you have created here is so cosy but at the same time claustrophobic. I experienced this on a milder scale last winter in Northern Slovenia. At first the snow was magical, but in the end I just wanted to escape!

Most snows are like that … at first a source for amazement at the beauty, then slowly total disenchantment!

You captured it ~~~ beautifully and much like northern MN which I have experienced way too often in winter.
