It always feels like a nasty joke by Mother Nature when it snows a ton, but it’s just that powdery dust that cannot be packed and thrown in frozen torpedo form at your nearest acquaintance’s head. Such a crime.
Oh yeah, have you seen the results of the latest poll? Where in the Z&F reader base do you fit? I found the results slightly surprising, read about my musings on gender & comics by clicking below….
Hmmph! I don’t trust any pie chart that doesn’t use Puce as a color… And on the snow… I agree completely.
I will try in the future to work Puce into my graphical elements. Didn’t realize how trusted some colors are. ;0)
Lol, Mother Nature also makes ice balls, too. They hurt a little bit though…
oof, ice balls. Don’t have fond memories of those.
FOOF, ha,ha,ha that’s funny.
the key is in selecting the right sound effect spelling ;0)
The powder snowball is a waste of time. unless you have superman strength and can compact it down to usable projectile.
it’s a disgrace, is what it is.
I don’t care D. When I was in Cincy it hadn’t snowed. Now I come up north yesterday to Cleveland and it is white death…or at least white dust.
I have been hearing Cleveland’s been getting hammered.. but the again, what’s new? Have a trip there planned for late March, hope the blizzards will be done by then.
I didn’t even know, or had forgotten, you were a Clevelander. I’m sure you know by now that it’s my hometown. ;0D
I know you were from Cleveland. I am from Cincy…just up for work.
Hahahahaha!!! That sux!! But it’s better than Brogan’s iceballs…. XD
yeah, ice balls= bad for the receiving end. powder snow= bad for the throwing end.
Powdery snow used to all we’d get in West Texas, now we only get a flurry or two here in East Texas…I miss snow. I remember as a kid we’d have one good winter where we’d get good hearty snow, we’d build us snowmen, have snow ball fights, etc. Then it seemed that for the next 3 years we’d get that powdery stuff that we couldn’t make a snow ball out of, nor could we even attempt to compact enough to make a snow man. I remember my dad spraying it down with water one year telling us it would make it harder, instead it just melted down to the grass.
Another thing about snowmen and dogs, is that unless you have a thick snow, as you roll out your snow man mounds to make the body and head, you end up picking up some objects along the way that resemble black buttons, but definitely aren’t. I remember taking a stick and digging out dog turds from my snow men growing up….it’s a miracle I’m not scarred mentally. 🙂
I can relate to a lot of that, heh. I remember trying dampen the snow with water for a snowball fight.. instead I added a layer of ice on top, d’oh! and snowball fights would be held in the FRONT yard, and the back yard contained those hidden landmines, ugh!
Third panel = priceless!! 🙂
the dumbfounded look is one of my FAVORITES!
Invisible disintegration ray from the aliens…or just God messing around with a punk kid?
FOOF!
you never know, with alien technology…
Yeah, I hate that piddling snow that won’t even make decent snow ice cream.
mmmm… snow ice cream. Like in “Cloudy with Meatballs”… that was amazing.
An experienced snow-assaulter knows to carry a water bottle around, ready to pack that stuff down in case of fluffiness.
if sports arenas were involved, that would be illegal. I remember as a kid using those big plastic milk jugs.. oof!
I actually miss the snow this year. Florida has been cold – with no snow. If I’m going to be in the cold, I’d much rather have snow with it.
I agree with that entirely. Philly’s been getting it’s fair share of snow, but it’s nothing like ol’ Cleveland.
I feel for you, Nate. We have snow to spare in upstate NY, if you want some. Maybe I could mail it in a cooler box…
And I have to say, I so feel madame owner’s pain here. Powdery snow is a total rip-off!
total rip-off!!! Send it back! I demand a refund! Do-over do-over!
Both significant snowfalls in Philly this year have been this powdery &^%$, ugh!
thats why i pee on them first
oh, good. Brilliance at it’s finest.
Do people really get outside and play in that disgusting stuff?
you sound like Zorphbert!
