For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 18, 2018

Oh, the weather outside is raining

And Elizabeth’s complaining

And since John want cheer to show

Make it snow, make it snow, make it snow

-

Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping

And since John was eavesdropping

That Elizabeth’s mood is low

Make it snow, make it snow, make it snow

-

When we look at the strip in light

How I’ll work hard to find a punchline

It seems Lizzie thinks John has might

For precipitation to define

-

And her father is slowly trying

To wish rain would be good-bying

For as long as Liz wants an ice show

Make it snow, make it snow, make it snow

I ain’t dreaming of a wet Christmas just like the ones I used to know (I can so relate).

I can so relate with Elisabeth here. We’ll probably have a wet Christmas. Yet again. CURSE YOU, CLIMATE CHANGE!!

At least you don’t have to shovel rain.

We might get snow for Christmas, but our meteorologist said that unless there’s an inch of snow on the ground by 7 am Christmas morning it will not officially be a white Christmas.

WHO CAME UP WITH THIS DEFINITION?

The one good thing about global warming.

It could be worse, Elizabeth. You could live here in Arizona where it NEVER snows (and rarely rains) or in the Southern Hemisphere where it’s almost Summer this time of year!

if it snows right after all that rain ice would make streets totally impassible

Baby, it’s cold outside.

How about -30º for a week, then warm up to freezing, and rain. Talk about ice; vehicles just slide off the crown on the road. Welcome to rural Northern Alberta.

Feeling your pain kiddo.

“Make it snow”? Yuck….

Common winter in Houston.

There was an episode of King of the Hill where they get a little bit of snow.

Bobby Hill: “Look Mom, ash! Is there a volcano nearby?”

Peggy Hill: “It is…snow!”People panic “OK people, I have been through this before when I grew up in Montana. Nobody lick any flagpoles.”

Hank Hill: “Snow?? Texans are not prepared for this kind of nightmare!”
