Maclean’s columnist Scott Feschuk asks Mother Nature what’s going on with this Winter crap.
You know it’s going to be great when it’s starts off with “Dear Bitch, Are you for real?” and include “We’ve tried to have patience. Some of us have also tried patience’s little helper, Xanax. But look what you’ve done to us. We’re a quivering mass of shattered nerves, deadened eyes and extended middle fingers.”
Or one of my favorites: “But you need to lighten up. Winters like this — they’re not something that humans are built to endure. In that way they’re like all Robin Williams movies since 1987. We can’t take the physical strain of trudging through this much snow. We can’t take the mental strain of driving on impassable streets. And we can’t outrun the yetis who’ve come down from the hills to feast.”
Go read it and understand a little bit what Winter has been like for those of us in the Eastern part of the country this year. Because seriously. Isn’t this enough snow already?
It’s the first day of Spring. Bring it on, baby.
Yes, bring on the spring! I’m so over winter. I want green, and flowers, and well warm weather.
Out blog hopping. You have some great pics on your blog!
I didn’t see any leaves on that tree. What’s the delay?
Well, yesterday’s spring storm that dumped 15 inches on us brought us up to the second snowiest winter in recorded history. There is not a person alive (in our area) who has seen this much snow. 143 years ago was the only time we’ve gotten more snow than this winter.
I am beyond over it. I was actually in a major funk yesterday and no matter what I did I could not drag myself out of it. I felt like crying as I watched the storm rage outside my windows.
It took mother nature all the way trough Easter before she finaly decided that we, too, should be buried underneath a tiny, yet unmistakeably present layer of -yes- snow.
It was gone the next morning but I took pictures for proof.
Needless to say your layer of snow over there is probably at least 100 times thicker than ours ever was.
Oh my goodness. If you could hear me gasping for air over here in between fits of laughter you would think that I was a crazy person. This post is hilarious, and just the shot of humor I needed in my day.
I’m from the S. California coast, where it doesn’t snow. I have only seen snow fall twice in my life and if you blinked you would miss it.
