It is April and we are preparing for a twelve inch snow fall this week. Fortunately I have a supply of popcorn and several bottles of wine in the pantry. Good to ‘not’ go out.
We had a supposed 100-year flood in this part of northern CA about 25 years ago, and a friend opened his front door and suddenly saw his koi from his back yard pond swimming past his feet.
A point of contention, Miss Optimist. A shower is defined as A brief and usually light fall of rain, hail, sleet, or snow. That doesn’t qualify as brief or light.
There is actually a picture of this window in real life. The window was so well built that it did this. People were saying it was a good ad for the installer.

This April “shower” looks more like a bath …

The next month there will be sea anemones.
In Florida you will need to get used to situations like that within the next few decades.

And, apparently, being under water. Had a bit of that going on in Oz lately; we’re on high(er) ground, so no damage, as yet.
