Midwestern snowstorm--where was Bush?!?!

The horrors of Chimpy McHaliburton, aka George Bush, continue!

Last night I was snuggled up close with my snow bunny, both to combat Global Warming and because George Bush is plotting to cut off our heat, last night watching a movie when I hear the city snow trucks finally plowing my subdivision.  BANG!  They run into Heather the Neighbor's Monte Carlo!

The mayor is a Democrat, Heather the Neighbor is a Democrat!  No doubt what happened is this:  Dick Cheney and Donal Rumsfeld parachuted into Lafayette, Indiana wearing full black tactical gear they used their finely honed ninja skills to subdue the city workers and drive the plows themselves thus undercutting the local Democrat effort to combat Chimpy's planned snowstorm.

Further, I took my SUV into the mechanic to have him give it the once over as winter is just a couple of weeks away.  He find that the radiator needs to be replaced!  No doubt when Cheney ran into Heather's Monte Carlo, Rumsfeld snuck into my garage using his ninja skills to pick my Medeco locks on the man doors and attack my SUV!

While George Bush sits in his Southern manor along the Potomac plotting how on where to strike next, minorities (me) and women (Heather) continue to suffer.  How can Chimpy live with himself?

Lennyjoe, it's accepted scientific fact that global warming causing both warm and cold weather.  It was created in Texas by Haliburton executives.

You are owed a check as well!:D

Snow blowers for 3" of snow?  Are you people crazy?  I'd be glad if on any given morning, I only had to shovel 3" of snow.

How about me?  I wasn't affected by the weather, but reading the posts about you poor unfortunate souls has depressed me to the point that I'm no longer able to provide for my family.  I spend all day in front of the TV watching Oprah, The View, etc.

Does that mean I qualify as "disabled"?

I have 35 new Honda snowthrowers in my yard.  But the snow has covered them so they can't be used.  Someone please send me a trailer load of new snowthrowers and I demand that you plow my driveway so the delivery truck can drop them off.

We had four inches the other day. I spent an hour and a half shoveling my driveway when I should have been at work writing legacy code. It was very inconcenient.

I want the government to make it snow on the days I'd prefer, and to make it not snow on the other days.

Nathaniel,

You need to apply for the Specified-Date Precipitation (Snow) Program.  It's really easy.  Just go down to your nearest Federal Precipitation Office and fill out the SDP(S)P form, in triplicate.  DO NOT fill out the SPS(D)P form as that is for Selected-Persons Saliva (Dispersment) Program.  You don't want that.

We didn't get hit hard- we only have about 1' of snow standing so far, its been snowing nearly daily since mid november. My family has been posting a watch every night for looters- still none. despite the single digit temps, we haven't witnessed any refugees who have been frozen out of their homes yet. I 've had to lock the hubs on my 4x4 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I have a slightly sore shoulder from shoveling, but I'll try to keep it together until FEMA comes and sets up some sort of mobil hospital. We'll hold out until the federal relief comes, maybe they'll ask us to get on a bus to Miller Park to weather out the worst of the winter storms ahead. Damn global warming! The evil republicans, big oil, big car manufacturing, big electricity generation, and big aerosol deordorant and hairspray corporations are to blame.

We had 10"+ on Thursday night/Friday morning, we've had another 4" Saturday night, and it's still snowing hard here on Sunday morning.  Instead of going out with the muzzy, I've got to go and plow out the driveway again.  At this rate, I'll need a subsidy for gas in the ATV and food stamps to make up for the missed deer.  Hell, just give me one or three of them thar FEMA debit cards, that oughta help.....

Ah!  I have a TRACKER!  To hell with everyone else, I just drive OVER the snow.  Why last year my trusty TRACKER towed two humvees out of a snow drift!  Quicksand, no problem.  I just slip it into 4-wheel drive and try to keep it under 60.

Hell here in AZ the talking heads were complaining that is  was going to be 28 degrees the other day.  You would have thought hell froze over and Christ was returning.

The John Deere lives, but I want the government to reimburse for my time rewinding the starter rope.

I also want a mandate that the snow plow guy not push the snow over my side walk. 3" snow turns in to 18" on my side walk.

Nice Deere Larry! Someday I'm going to have a green tractor too, but a different flavor, Oliver.

Cold in Arizona?  We all know that it NEVER gets cold in GWR!:D

I suspect the Haliburton Weather Machine is acting up!

Chimpy has unleashed another assault on us.  It is going to warm up and rain, drowning women and minorities and giving us a Brown Christmas!  The horror of Bush!

No snow but lots of rain and something I have never heard of--"freezing fog"!  It's like something out of a horror movie!  Look out!  The freezing fog will get us!:D

Only one explanation--George Bush.  No doubt the Haliburton Weather Machine operated by Dick Cheney has it's dial stuck between two different settings.  It can only hurt women and minorities.

We call that freezing fog Hor'Frost here. Normally happens in late Feb/Early March when the dew point is low and ground temp is near freezing point.

All the outside surfaces get covered with tiny little hair like ice crystals, looks like something out of a Tim Burton film.

Snowing out pretty good today about 5". UPS failed to deliver my reloading supplies today, maybe I'll apply for federal aid. Almost strained my wrist putting my truck in 4-wheel drive again.
