If you’ve ever experienced life in the inimical tundra of Wisconsin (or a similarly arctic locale, sure) then you know that there are two sides to the solid-state precipitation coin. Snow gets a lot of glory and a lot of flak, both of which are ultimately deserved. Some bad things about snow include: when you’re leaving work at 10 pm and there is so much snow on the road and you’re having so much trouble coaxing your car to move above 2 mph that your thought process gets caught in the Siberian Triangle “Is the parking brake on?”-“Is the car in neutral?”-“I’M GOING TO DIE OUT HERE”; the fact that the post office will hoard your mail for weeks at a time because “it is too dangerous to walk up to your mailbox”; and those days when it’s cloudlessly sunny and sub-zero and the landscape is blanketed in white and you step outside and you’re like “wow this is so pretty” and then 3 seconds later you’re like “AHHHHHHHH MY EYES MY EYES TOO BRIGHT TOO BRIGHT I DIDN’T WEAR SUNGLASSES BECAUSE IT’S THE DEAD OF WINTER I’M GOING BLIND TOO BRIGHT CRUEL WORLD I’M GOING TO DIE OUT HERE.”
The good—nay, the best—thing about apocalyptic snowfall, though, is indisputably snow puns. Here are some of my favorites word plays involving snow; use them in a sentence at your own risk:
+Snowbi-Wan Kenobi (not to mention Han Snowlo, Snowda, C3PSnow… that entire movie could be a snow pun)
+VP Snow Biden and President Barack Snowbama
The Snowlshevik Revolution
+Snow Country for Cold Men
+Snowtal Eclipse of the Heart
+Scarlett Snow’Hara and Scarlett Snowhansson
+Sherlock Snowmes (Written by Sir Arthur Snowman Doyle)
+ I’m clearly going to think of snow many more of these as I walk to lunch now
As for everything else, I have big plans (BIG PLANS) for March… but I’ll tell you about those next week.
Whatever Wednesday, tonight! 8 pm, Let’s have some good snowld fashioned fun!
