“Maybe it will wash all the poop off the streets.”
Now that’s too much, even for a once-in-a-generation storm;D
Last weeks storm in Reno was pretty cool, still plenty of snow and ice covering the streets. It just now started snowing a half hour ago, here we go again. Back in my college days, we would load up on beer, drive around town in blizzards in our 4WD, and pull stuck people out.
From the same people that brought us “Bomb Cyclone”, now we have “Atmospheric River”.
What was wrong with the old “Heavy Rain”?
They have already spent millions deploying the Preserve the Poop task force to build barriers around the poop to preserve it.
