the horrible, beautiful ice storm disaster of Spring twenty-five…

to a meteorologist, it’s a rarity

to a tree hugger, it’s a crying shame

to a photographer, it’s a rare spectacle

to a property owner, it’s a liability

to a mayor, it’s a state of emergency

to a provincial premier, it’s a photo op

to a neighbour, it’s an opportunity to help

to an arborist, it’s a wet dream.
