[Kaniktshaq moritlkatsio atsuniartoq!](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/263/what-are-the-nine-eskimo-words-for-snow) I have had it with this motherfucking snow! It’s fucking SPRING, we are NOT supposed to get any more fucking snow!

Having a sick toddler at home clinging to me really isn’t helping, either.

At least we’re not supposed to get any accumulation, and it’s supposed to change over to rain later today. I’ve heard that, further east, they’re supposed to get some accumulation. I’m sure they’re overjoyed.

You all could send it back our way. We have absolutely no snow left and, therefore, no snow cover for the crops. They are saying we will be in a drought this spring already.

Where did you get this far fetched idea? Spring is time for some good snow and great late season skiing.

Take your spring snow and go back to Norway. Felch goats with it there, or whatever it is you do with it there, I don’t care. Or just go and take it anywhere else, but not here.

I grant you that PA has gotten more than its share of snow this year, but so has Boston. But snow in March and April are pretty standard all over the northeast, no? I remember a few snowstorms from May in the past, even in Boston.

Driest most horrible winter ( and spring ) on record here in the Wasatch mountains, I’ve hung up the skis and broken out the mountain bike. In MARCH damnit. March is supposed to be the 1-2 foot blue bird skiing powder paradise time.  
It’s all wrong, send us back our snow, it is not wanted or appreciated over there.

link to snow pack map for the western US. (pdf) . No California data as they do their own thing. This is % of normal snowpack. So 100% is average, not great.

Yeah, but you’re in Canada. Your igloos would melt if you had decent weather, and then where would you live? 😉

I grew up in the DC area. I remember late March snow being a very unusual thing. The longer winters are something I do not like about Pittsburgh. It always feels like winter starts too soon in the fall, and takes too long to go away in the spring. ☹ Now I’m stuck inside with a toddler when the weather is bad, so that’s a little dollop of extra suck.

We just got nearly all the snow melted and it is fucking snowing again. Allow me to join in your rant and offer to find that damned groundhog for you ASAP.

I heartily endorse this pitting.

Was a beautiful 50 degree sunny day yesterday, all the previous snow was gone.

Woke up to 5 inches this morning and IT. HAS. NOT. FUCKING. STOPPED.

Fuck you winter.

It has come to this: I referred to today as the first day of _snow_.

Last year when it snowed this late, I karate chopped the flakes.

This time, I’m trying flying dropkicks.
