Rant: Weather Whiners

It could be worse

Trail Ridge Road, RMNP

How is this even possible? Do they attach a snow plow to an ore hauler?

with a big ass auger that can throw snow 100 yards or more. Growing up they had to bring one of those out to open up the road we lived on. It was impressive. We drove through a 12 or 13 foot snow drift they cut through.

Was that before or after walking 10 miles to school uphill?

Weather whiners are weak willed wimps and deserve their miserable lives.

Couldn't agree more. It gets old. Same ol' complaining day after day after day about the same old thing that you can't do anything about.

I can't put people on mute in real life.

Oh, you can mute people in real life. There may be consequences like loss of job and/or jail but you can shut them up. I probably wouldn't recommend most methods but there is probably a method that wouldn't get you in trouble. If I can think of a way, I'll share.

I didn't know that they even tried to keep that road open in the winter.

No, they don't.

In that link they talk about Old Fall River Road, an unpaved, one-way alternative route to the Alpine Visitor Center - just a breathtaking drive. It is closed throughout 2014 due to flood damage. Some favorite hiking trails had bridges wiped out in September.

I agree 100%. We live in the Midwest. It gets insufferably cold in the winter and insufferably humid and uncomfortable in the summer months. Been that way, I suppose, since God created the earth.

Adjust.

Move on.

Or, move out.
