A Pagan Response
Let's delete this winter and the cold and snow-- especially the snow stacked on roofs and the snow seeking warmth beneath roof eaves. Where is the fairy godmother to wave a wand and dispel the chill and usher in the warmth?
Perhaps there is a witch of the north who has invaded our territory. What must we do to dissuade her from any more of this icy intimacy?
I think the weavers of stories need to conjure up an answer to this conundrum? Maybe a potent spell that breaks through and dissuades the spirits?
It's reasonable to accept the notion of a deity for each season, for each natural occurrence. You could ask the deity of winter if he's peeved, having a bad day, or needs something. A back rub, a hot tub, a walk around a labyrinth.
Wait. Just wait. The calendar moves forward. Don't be impatient. But I am.
