Weird weather

Seattle + snow = funny Twitter thread.

Possibility of 60' (18+ meter) surf this weekend with damaging winds and epic flooding, plus heavy rain. Good reason for me to stay in and clean.

Yep. And today they issued a new winter weather warning for the summits on Maui and the Big Island.

Dear Lord, you might have to actually close your windows at night.
The horror.

This is additionally funny because my parents are on vacation on Maui right now. So I find this hilarious.

There's a lot less snow than I expected.

There's a lot less snow than I expected.

And fewer actual crashes.
I'm not joking.

Make up your fuckin mind, Texas! It's March, for the love of god!

We've gone from a high of 50 3 days ago to a high of 15 yesterday so yeah it's making me antsy about whether I actually buy that snowblower now or wait for the sales late next month.

Everytime my husband waits for "off-season" sales, he manages to talk himself out of buying the thing he really really wanted a couple of months previous.

I just came out of a two-week period in which I literally spent somewhere around 16-20 cumulative hours shoveling snow. By hand. By myself. In a mean temperature somewhere around 18F/-8C.
I doubt I'll entertain any arguments to the contrary, even with myself.

We have a neighbor who uses their snow blower to clean our sidewalks. We've never asked her to do this - she just does it. Trying to come up with a suitable repayment as she's amazing.

Normal March. Just imagine the cold snap (and how bad it will seem at that time) we'll have around Easter in April.

Food? Bake her some cookies or some other sweet? Or a small care basket of some of your favorite food things from local places? A gift card?

Thunder in February means frost in April...

"Thunder in February" sounds like a drag racing event held on a frozen lake.

They cancelled school a second day in a row because they are worried about wind knocking out power or something, but I think that they really just wanted a second day off.

Meanwhile it was just cool and windy here in the Valley yesterday.

Look at that lovely state of mine. All white.

Nebraska looks like someone detailed flames onto our state like a 1970's corvette.

We're heading up to St Joseph, MO in a couple of weeks, visiting our daughter. Hoping it's possible.
