Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for February 01, 2014

we’ve been saying that for weeks

We need to get some of that snow out here in the West.

Enough, already.

I’ll really start worrying about winter if Punxsutawney Phil gets a space heater in his burrow.

I have a feeling some idiot sang that this past Tuesdayhere in Atlanta. Thanks a lot wherever you are, you jackass!

Doesn’t work in either direction, Skyler.

But do you live near Western PA? I sometimes wonder why the whole country talks about Punxsutawney Phil, as if one groundhog in one region could predict the weather everywhere- in a country that has distinctly different climates. My guess: people just like to say the name.

Okay, people. NOW do we understand that “LET IT SNOW” is NOT a Christmas song? Snow- WInter. Do we get it now?

Meridian, MS…2014…enough snow to last several years….

Be careful what you wish for.

I can make it rain – just have to get out and wash my windows…

Yeah, ypoons, they are about due.

Yeah, dukedoug, that’s true about Arizona too, but we don’t whine about it as much as Jerry Brown does.

A local minister puts up funny signs outside the Church from time to time. Last Christmas (2012), one was “Will the person who’s been praying for snow please stop.”
