Being Snowbound

I have lived up north
And also down south;
This topic was chosen
Through a word of mouth.

Up north, storms come and go -
Snow is often measured in feet;
If it's exceptionally bad,
You cannot find the street.

Down south, it's altogether different
The weather is usually mild.
But once in a great while,
Mother Nature goes wild.

A few inches, of rain, sleet and snow
Will give many Southerners pause;
The grocery store shelves are emptied
"The weather" is the cause.

The Northerners laugh
The Southerners are reflective;
Being snowbound
Truly is a matter of perspective.
