Or as Ezra Pound wrote:

“Winter is icummen in,

Lhude sing Goddamm,

Raineth drop and staineth slop

And how the wind doth ramm!

Sing: Goddamm.

Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,

An ague hath my ham.

Freezeth river, turneth liver

Damn you, sing: Goddamm.

Goddamm, Goddamm, tis why I am,

Goddamm.

So 'gainst the winter's balm

Sing Goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm

Sing Goddamm, sing Goddamm,

DAMM.”

It's an opportunity for climate change deniers to announce that global warming is over, until fire season comes around again. Pack some of the winter snow and ice away under straw or sawdust to roll in when the summer heat returns.
