unseasonably frigid

[fledgist]

 due to harsh winds and bitter bitter cold
we stay indoors and wait for warmer days
duty or need will drive those who are bold
to travel along those harsh and frozen ways
it is not usual for this place or time
the wind's come down to us from the far north
such weather seems to be a very crime
and makes it hard for each to venture forth
yet it was not that many days ago
that it was sweltering in my workplace
the response to that complaint was slow
and pain seemed written into every face
the night is hard but we are at our ease
outside the very air seems apt to freeze
