I received an email on Monday from a co-worker.
“Are you done with the weather yet?”
My response…
“I want to run over Father Winter with a tank. A huge tank.”
She deadpanned…
“There’s no need for violence.”
Oh, yes there is, my dear. Yes, there is.
The need for a tank began at the end of January, when a snowstorm turned into -50 F wind chills.
Father Winter has been miserable ever since.
Snow

More Snow

Rain and Fog

On the day I said goodbye to mom, it snowed, pelted ice, then rained, then snowed again.
The wind picked up Saturday night.
More snow.
Wind gusts of up to 60 mph on Sunday.
Whiteouts.
The awful 131 car pile-up on I-41, taking a young teacher’s life.
Then two days of cold.
And more #@&%*$#@&* snow.
Where’s the tank? The really huge tank?
For Father Winter.
He’s been a real jerk.

Make sure you do a good job. Don’t just wound him and send him limping off to the northeast.
I was going to send him to the North Pole. Maybe Santa can talk some sense into him.
Good plan. Back where you belong, winter!
No, no, no. Take no prisoners! Winter cannot be rehabilitated. He’s a serial offender! Lethal force is required.
I don’t think my body or psyche can take much more of this. UGH.
Yeah, drop the tank on him from way up high!
Great idea! I’ll contact the Air Force and see if they can help.
I’m with Dan – a ticked off Father Winter could be deadly. 🙂 If only, we could kick him to the curb.
A ticked off Mary J could be even deadlier. 😉
I think the curbs are also sick of Father Winter. They haven’t seen the light of day in weeks and it might be several more before all of the snow melts.
Stupid groundhog.
I hear ya, Mary! I’m on the same mission impossible to get to spring fast…if you see the groundhog, tell him to stop spinning and spilling the snow-globe!
How many inches did you get from the last snow event? I think you were having a blizzard?
We got a foot of snow last round, and we got 3-5 last night! It’s hard to tell now, it’s just all blurring together!
Well, boo. I’m ready to hop in the car and drive until I hit sun and 60 degrees.
I adore that idea!
It may take more than a tank. I think of this winter as a slow moving hurricane from the north pole.
Good analogy, Frank! I just wish we didn’t need that analogy.
I would take a whole army of tanks to chase the winter away ! Fortunately in Belgium it looks like if the worst is over !!
I hope the worst is over with for all of us very soon. Winter needs to go.
That’s the spirit! Go Patton on winter!
“May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won’t.”
Yes! Here’s to an early spring!!! 🙂
I need to pray harder and gather an army, Laurie.
Hey Mary I’ll chip in to gas that tank up!
You’re on! 🙂
Just think of how hard we’ll be crying in a few months, when that solar flame-thrower hits (SUMMER). Still, you never get 131-car pileups because of heat, so there’s that.
I very seldom complain about heat other than the times it makes me run the A/C excessively. I’m not s fan of the A/C because it feels cold to me, like winter.
Oh my. Oh my. I don’t have a tank, but if I did, I’d lend you mine. Our winter has just been wintery.
Thanks for your support, Joey. Only 21 days or so to spring. I’m expecting it to show up.
Tragic about that accident.
It’s been mild here but for the next two days the weatherman predicts a return of winter. Guess we’ll see.
I would appreciate a couple days of mild and sun.
Just banish him to the poles where he belongs, and where he’s needed, right now.
I’m trying, Damyanti, but winter is a fighter this year.
