Today is also ending--
at the bottom of the snowstorm

Absolutely love those first two lines!

Maybe it needs a dash or ellipsis after "lived" though?

I could be wrong. ;-)

I'll definitely be revisting this one as it does have great resonance!

Thanks, Alan. Following your advice, I have added a dash after 'lived': I glanced at the run-down house, now totally deserted since the occupant died - and the eerie impression gave me a start!
