Fuck This Weather

As someone who grew up in the snow belt of upstate, ny... where we got lake effect from both damn lakes, I can say with the utmost certainty that profanity will do nothing to deter nature from dumping fuckloads of white shit on your freezing ass.
Vagina boob.

I will send you my snow, but you have to take my broken, frozen pipes as well.

Enn, feel free to come over, cash and carry. You can have all the snow on my driveway for just a quarter a shovelful!

Getting snow is like having twins: Seem cute and fun when you see other people who have some, and at first you enjoy the sight... After a while you are waking up at 4:45 in the morning to manage your "blessing", knowing you have to leave for work at 6:30 and somehow manage to find time to take care of yourself before you go to work...
And then the profane soliloquies slowly manifest.

I haven't seen snow this year. I am really enjoying this fact. I live in Nevada. I can see snow on the mountains in the distance. I think I like it where it is, and not here in the valley.

Snow is fun up until you hit the age where your Dad makes you help shovel it. Once you're old enough to drive in it, snow is never, never, ever again looked upon as a positive.

I love taking something so utterly mundane as the weather and cussifying the shit out of it. I have no idea why, but I get a kick out of this.

Search for fucking "Shaftesbury":
"Shaftesbury fucking England
-3 fucking degrees Celsius and it’s fucking cloudy"
Bloody too fucking right it is.
Search for fucking "London":
"Londonderry, New fucking Hampshire
21 fucking degrees Fahrenheit and there’s some lame-ass, light fucking snow"
The fuck?

This is a photo I took this morning just before I left for work. What it shows is a flat, table-style bird feeder in my backyard with the accumulated snow we've gotten in the past month.
Next to it (though hard to read in the photo) is an extended tape measure showing that the pile of snow is currently at 17".
More snow is expected throughout the weekend.
Fuck winter.

Okay, we don't have much snow. But it is -30 C (-22 F), and it will be winter 'till April, when it melts into a huge mudpuddle and then dries to a fine dust.
So yes, this Fucking weather isn't fun.

Fucking website won't load. Its OK, though, as I know its fucking overcast, been fucking overcast, fucking marine layer doesn't fucking dissipate up the hill like usual. Fucking forecasters say it's gonna be allegedly mostly fucking sunny on a-fucking-propriately named Sunday. This, they say, is fucking Sunny California.

I'll fight you both. It's been 49 C here for the last week (120+ F for you funny lot).
I don't care that the snow would melt instantly and turn into a steam bath. I still want it.

I haven't seen the sun in like 9 days. Shit.

Gdansk Fucking Pomerania reporting in. Looks like it works, though I had to tell it where I am -- the "Where the fuck are you?" function returned "What the fuck?" at first, and it put me in Maine. Wrong continent.
