Nasty winter gale approaching
Forecast broadcasting storm warning
Heavy snow, high winds, Arctic cold
Village alarms sound by morning
Life transcends to total frenzy
Salt trucks loaded, very much ready
Snow plow crews set for night’s work
Village life scrambling, unsteady
Packed grocery stores in chaos
Hurried, panic-filled shopping carts
Shelves urgently growing empty
Village pace quickens beating hearts
Students anticipate closings
Looking forward, lazy “Snow Day”
No classes, no books, no lessons
Village hunkers down, people pray
Winter storm “Tabitha” churning
Pondering, bewitching blizzard
Overnight fury passes on
Village eluding storm’s wizard
The Weather Channel has been naming winter storms in America since 2012-2013. You may have picked up the connection between the “bewitching” blizzard and the name of the storm “Tabitha.” Tabitha is one of the available winter storm names for the 2020-2021 winter. Tabitha is also the daughter of Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) on the successful American sitcom “Bewitched” from 1964-1972.

The imagery in your poem to describe the storm and its domino effect is very well written. 🙂
