Stuff to read!
I have a piece up right now at The Hill titled Some of Us Midwesterners Think Maybe Amy Klobuchar Would Do OK as President. And yes, the title is supposed to be a bit of midwestern humor!
As for haiku, there was some great work last week. CTL represented Texas:
Teeth chatter, bones ache.
Wintry torrent sears, cuts, bites.
Forty-two degrees.
The Waco Friend apparently spent time outside of Waco:
Walked to class on grass
next morn two feet deep on ground
Feb 67.
And Gavin had some great advice for those of us in colder climates:
Snow came too early.
Need hard cold first for good ice.
Pickups should take care!
(Advice for all my fellow ice fishermen out there. Watch the news for idiots in 2018 trucks going through the ice because it “looked safe.” Snow insulates and makes poor ice conditions underneath.)

Yes. That was the spring quarter at Michigan State, where I spent 8 years and got three degrees. There was snow on the football practice grass as late as August that year, where they had trucked a lot of the snow. We bucket brigaded groceries into the dorms and classes were called of for the first time in more than a century due to weather.
