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.

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.
