As many places in the USA deal with a different type of Genesis - Bombogenesis and Thundersnow - this prayer from The Roman Missal, “Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions, #37: For an End to Storms,” is a way to prayerfully lift up all who are adversely impacted by weather as well as prayer to protect First Responders, all who work to keep travel safe and those who work to keep our homes bright and warm:
O God,
to Whose commands
all the elements give obedience,
we humbly entreat You,
that the still of fearsome storms
may turn a powerful menace
into an occasion for us to praise You.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God,
for ever and ever.

“Every shower and dew, bless the Lord;
All you winds, bless the Lord.
Fire and heat, bless the Lord;
Cold and chill, bless the Lord.
Dew and rain, bless the Lord;
Frost and cold, bless the Lord.
Ice and snow, bless the Lord;
Nights and days, bless the Lord.
Light and darkness bless the Lord;
Lightning and clouds, bless the Lord.
Let the earth bless the Lord ...”
(Daniel 3: 64-73)
