We get it… it’s cold… but San Diego has real problems. We just got hit by more than 2 inches of rain in just a few days… and have you ever tried to make a waterman?
Trust me, it is not easy. Snow is just cold water anyway. You can shovel it up if you have to. Have you ever tried to shovel water?
Once again, it isn’t easy.
Snow is light and fluffy. Rain comes down fast. And if you really hate snow so much, I am pretty sure you can move to a place where it never snows… like Death Valley…
Look at that. That is my actual rain gauge. Or is it gage? I haven’t really had to use it that much this year.
***(I hope you all realize that I was trying to be amusingly sarcastic. I am not making light of your horrible winter. I feel your pain. And I hope you all move to San Diego… so we can get together for a barbecue… on almost any winter day… when it is like 75 or 80 degrees… and absolutely nothing is falling from the sky)***
Pouring My Art Out 
if you wanna get into rain with a Londoner….
you win
Shut up and come and shovel my driveway. It is long. And our snowblower broke. Waaaahhhhhhhhh.
Can’t you build a slope-roofed cover over it?
A heating pad?
or that
I just got a snowball. I didn’t have to go far to get it. It was mounded in my bedroom against the window. The ice crystals cut my hand.
I took it to the freezer. On the way, I squeezed hard. I applied enough pressure to make a diamond. Then I put it in the deep freeze, but before I did, I carved your name into it – with my tongue.
I’m saving it up. I’m going to get a cooler. And an airplane ticket. I’m going to come visit. And I’m going to open that cooler ever so gently. And I’m going to let the San Diego sun melt the first layer of molecules, to improve the aerodynamics. Then I’m going to limber up my pitching arm. And then I’m going to pick up that snowball. Feel it in my fingers. All cold and compact and smelling of Canada. And then I’m going to throw it at you. It’s going to whistle as it flies. You’ll look up, but the sunglasses will not help your vision. You’ll feel the impact before it happens. Snow will erupt over your forehead, douse your hair. It will slip down your shirt. Then I will pounce, like a dragon, and give you the biggest snowjob of all time (I said snowjob!).
If you injure me and I can’t blog, you will only have yourself to blame… and then the minions will come after you with pitchforks and torches
I’ll roll some snowballs for them, too.
Your frozen water does not scare me… also, as soon as you get off the plane, you will forget snow and ask me to take you to the beach and the zoo,,,
Can we go see the polar bears????
that is your first choice???
I want to come along! I know how to catch one now! and no, it isn’t by flopping around like a fish out of water but I imagine that would work pretty well too…….hmmmmm…..
You know they swim really well, right?
Road trip!
To the place where we keep our polar bears in enclosures found in between the palm trees…
Sounds gnarly.
dude
Clearly he underestimates those kindsa snowballs Trent. I know all about them..
I am going to start calling Trent by his new nick name… Snowballs…
We just need more rain, Art! I thought you lived in the Bay. Are you visiting San Diego? It’s so pretty and I have family there!
I grew up in the Bay Area… live in San Diego now.
Awww. Love San Diego! Lucky.
I miss the bay area
It will be -16F here tonight, inappropriate, insulting weather for March. Sick of winter, sick of it, had enough, would much rather shovel water.
I feel your pain…
I like 4 seasons in my year, it makes living a bit more interesting!
I can see how it would.
I am grateful for snow and rain, although it hurts me (no, really, humidity triggers my nerve pain) because it provides for the trees and plants. The Columbia Basin (and the Yakima Valley, for that matter) is in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains– were it not for snowpack and rainfall feeding the Snake, Columbia, and Yakima rivers to provide all the circular irrigation– agriculture would be nothing here. And that’s not anything to sneeze at; we easily have cheaper produce than Seattle-Tacoma and all its environs.
water really is the most important thing on this planet…
Yep! We’re 1/3 water… and it has to be replaced regularly.
We use it for a lot of stuff.
I cordially invite you to Quebec, Canada. To enjoy our winter wonderland. The best part, you don’t have to wait until next year! You can come right now! We should have snow for at least a couple of more months. Bring the kids! Work off those winter love handles by shoveling snow! Then take the ax and break through the ice for a refreshing dip in the lake! But it’s all worth it. Our beer has more alcohol! 🙂
Or you could just come here…
True! I have been known to shovel other things besides snow. I’ll leave as soon as they plow the roads!
awesome
I leave a cleaver, witty and equally sarcastic reply and off to spam it goes!
nevermind, there it is……
ha… paranoid much?
(whispers) why do you ask that? What do you know? Do you know something I should know? (looks over shoulders)
I know lots of stuff you should know…
who’s following me??
we all are… we take turns…
Just as I suspected!
see, you aren’t paranoid…
that’s what I was trying to display to you!
trying is the key word
what’s wrong with me? Oh have I got the questions for you!
go ahead…
what’s wrong with me??
nothing… next
why aren’t we having this discussion on the comment here post??
good question
AH HA!
ha ha
I think I got it…
You are absolutely right. I have no reason to whine. We are officially having the coldest winter on record if you count the number of zero and below days since November (like 73 or something), and the 4th snowiest as of right now, we are expecting another couple inches today. (it is only like the 3rd coldest winter if you only consider the below zero days–That’s right. BELOW ZERO.)
Let me tell you how badly I feel for the much needed rain you have received. It must be horrible! Just stay strong, I am sure you can find a way to survive it!
I second all the one word answers (or sounds) you have gotten so far.
people are not thrilled by sarcasm, it turns out…
Some are, Usually those that dish it out so well have a real appreciation for it…
I don’t want to make people mad…
It is not my intent either, sometimes you just can’t help it. Like a card that says elves taste like chicken. I can’t imagine that making someone angry. but it did.
uh… because they taste more like steak…
yea, but you didn’t get all mad and defensive about it.
Right… I just pointed out how wrong you were and went on with my life…
or barrage me with racist remarks for a week.
that too
but come on… a waterman instead of a snowman… how is that not funny?
and it was a very nice picture of him too! I think your waterman turned out perfectly!
I was going to put on a carrot and some coal eyes and a scarf… but that would just be silly…
well the scarf would get soaked… but the eyes might be creepy….
yeah…
Jerk.
I probably deserve that…
Lol just a tad 😉
I really thought you were mad at me…
Just a tad,lol
sorry… I was trying to make people forget their misery…
pffffffffttttttt
ha
Hmph.
sorry… just being silly to lighten the mood…
And it was very well done!
I was actually feeling the west Coast warm for a moment.
We have had so little rain that we might not be able to bathe or water plants… or drink… this year
Yeah, I’ve heard. Hope more rain come your way.
But not all at once…
A valiant effort, but there’s no way you’re winning the weather war.
I gave it a shot
Gold star material.
Some of my best sarcasm…
Rain is much better than snow. Not only you don’t have to clean up your car after rain, but rain also cleans the car for you.
but it leaves little spots…
Nothing that the next rain can’t take care of.
I have dead bugs all over the front of my car from our drive through the desert.
