January 18 2019 - The New York Whines -
A huge snowstorm is threatening to overtake New York City this morning, as over 1/32nd of an inch of the dreaded semi-frozen crystals have accumulated thus far in Central Park and on the streets between Lexington and Fifth Avenues.
Buses and Subways are running at half speed as ordered by Mayor Bill de Blasshole after he was awoken from his mid-morning snooze and informed of the developing calamity facing the city.
Said the Mayor before resuming his nap, "I have fully capable people in positions to deal with these types of trivial matters, so don't bother me no more about it", then stormed off in a huff.
A top aide to the Mayor concurred, "Hizzoner has a very important communist revolution to lead, do you think he needs to hear this shit from you irritating reporters?".
When asked by our Whines reporter, the aide declined to provide his name, but added, "If you alt-right so called 'journalists' at the Whines had only let us tax you at 100% six years ago then we wouldn't even be having this conversation".
City authorities have advised residents to secure their supplies of bread and milk, as this may be a long haul until at least midday this afternoon, but warned not to venture outside, as the sidewalks may be slippery when wet. Additionally, authorities have assured that used syringe deposit boxes will remain open and in full operation at all city parks within the five boroughs.
I wish.
NYC must get relief from Global Warming now before it gets buried
A quarter of an inch of snow, when I lived in Atlanta, was enough to shut down the schools. And if you could see how pitifully Atlantans drive on slick streets, you’ll understand how a dusting can paralyze the city.
Hey, if de Blasio were your mayor, a dusting of snow could cause real problems for you, too!
The REAL problem is the snow is WHITE!
I an constantly amazed at the hysteria over snow-—in JANUARY !!!!!
If this was June,I’d get it,but January?
.
In AUGUST.
There's nothing like mountain weather to let you know who is in charge.
That said, I was at the gym yesterday with a guy who had just moved here from San Antonio, TX. He was pretty agitated.
Well, ya know ... Global Warm, ummm, Global Chang, uhhhh, Climate Chan ... ummm, Cultural Appropri ... uhhhh, hang on, wait a minute, I'm getting confused here ....
I lived there for a while on Indian School Road, or some such. When I took a load of laundry to the laundromat, I was pleased to note that drying was free. Then I noticed the washing cost a whole lot. It occurred to me that it is so day in Phoenix, people took wet laundry home to hang on the line. So the laundromat people got their money up front and made drying free. Clever.
I checked my Intellicast link today and it redirects me to WUnderground, I guess they merged?
:-)

I hear that. Bet you didn’t have snow tires on, either.
Another thing we had to do was put anti-freeze in the windshield washer water tank, as the water would often freeze up.
I had a 4x4. But that doesn’t help when the only road over the mountain pass is closed!
