Ha! Oh man, this is great, DP. I love how you did the white lines on the suit jacket, and the plastered-on smile on Ashley. The phrase “unbelievable turn of events” ALWAYS makes me laugh. How much snow have you guys gotten already??
Yes, the plastered on smile! I have one on right now, JD. 🙂 There are currently five kids in my house! yay!
It looks like we’ve got about five inches so far. We are due to get about 15 total. But it’s the wind and the snow drifts that will be bad. Well, bad for Jim when he goes outside to snow blow for three hours tonight.
ooh, I like that idea! I was going to go into more details of stating the obvious, but it took approx. 2 hours just to upload these freaking frames to my post so I gave up after Ashley’s eyeballs froze.
AHAHAHAHA!!! This is the best post! I am sharing it on FB; I literally just said to my husband, “Why did we hear about this huge storm for 3 days? Its six inches of snow…” That didn’t even used to bring out the damn plow; now it has a name! Did you know that we are experiencing “Snowstorm Euclid”?
Yeesh!
I had no idea they name snowstorms now. This is so exciting. Euclid. Yeah, this definitely has Euclid written allllll over it. Stupid Euclid. I really hope one day Storm Darla comes along and dumps three feet.
Euclid? Who the hell names a snowstorm something that? A sandstorm named “Euclid,” OK. Being marooned on a Greek island with the Sirens, OK, Euclid. A bloomin’ snowstorm named “Euclid.” Who writes this material?
I have NO idea….perhaps the “Weather Channel” marketing department?
It was just a little SNOW. We used to get this every two days for six months without a thought. It wasn’t until we passed 24 inches that we’d really pay attention. NUTS. We’re all nuts…..
I remember that from when I lived in Cambridge (1976-1979). It snowed. It was New England. We lived. Sometimes we jumped out of 2nd floor windows into it and STILL we lived. Oy. We aren’t nuts we are wimps!
You need MORE snow in Colorado? Get out! I think every station has the same two anchors and they say the same two things every storm. Today, I watched a reporter reporting LIVE! in front of the town’s snowplows telling us that: “Yes! they will be putting salt on the roads! And yes! They will be using these trucks to salt the roads!” WOW. Maybe they should make it more interesting and tell us that, nah, the plows are NOT going to plow today. And salt? forget it.
I think I saw them when I visited LA too!
I love when they point out two inches of snow in the background and make it sound like it is the biggest storm to ever hit Colorado.
We got 4 inches on Christmas Eve and about an inch last night. Whoopee ding dong day! Bring it on Mother Nature!
The mountains have gotten feet of snow and I am dying to get up there! Maybe we’ll go up tomorrow night after we celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday (at noon of course so she can go out to the bars… scary…)
I can see people getting a bit panicky if it was snowing in say, Hawaii.
Your daughter is 21? That is scarier than any snowstorm, Susie! Happy bday to her!
I love how they always sacrifice the young Ashley’s of the newsrooms to cover the completely miserable stuff. It’s punishment for being 20 and named Ashley.
Aaaaaand this is why, since I crave news when I turn on the news, I have largely stopped turning on the news! Thanks for making me laugh about it instead of feeling all head-‘splodey. 😀 😀 😀
Pshaw? I love that. I think I’ll have to use “pshaw” as my new go-to response to everything. It’s snowing in the wintertime? Pshaw! You kids want to go sledding? Pshaw! You want me to get off the couch? Pshaw!
Spelled and quoted perfectly. Stop steaming up my hide! Another favorite of mine.
God, Bugs was the best. My hero.
Oh lord. If Euclid came here to DC we would be in total 24/7 panic mode. Because somehow no one has ever figured out that it does snow here in the winter. And that if you put those cow-catcher things on the front of town trucks into the down position, you can scrape the snow off the roads.
Oy vey. Enjoy it Darla. Throw those children out and don’t let them come inside until they have frostbite.
haha! Those things can catch cows, too?? WOW!!!
My younger brother lives in North Carolina. They got a little snow last year and his town had exactly zero snow plows. He was outside in his yard and actually saw a giant tractor go by with a makeshift plow strapped to the front, probably held into place with bungee cords.
Amateurs. (shaking head)
Oh and you’d better believe those kids are going outside in the snow VERY VERY soon. I don’t care if the snow if going sideways or ricocheting straight back up off the ground. It’s snow dammit! Get out there and play in it! Like the old days!
Wow, does it snow in Maine?? Did you know, it snows in Michigan too? They should be reporting when it’s not snowing in Maine. You know where it doesn’t snow much, down in Texas where I guess it snowed like hell the other day. Now that’s newsworthy!
Darlizzard your drawing skills are phe-nom-i-nal! I keep seeing g Bridget Jones sliding down the fire pole when I think of Ashley. Poor kid. But I pity you even more. 5 kids inside??? And I hear you may even get some…snow!
And I just realized I didn’t post my finalized frames up there with my snazzy cut-n-pasting of various objects, like the delish McRib sandwich. Curses! I had to reload everything and repost. Oh well. It was fun and I am BORED outta my mind this week, also very hungry. and whiny.
See, when you are like me and never watch the news OR go outside, you don’t know what is going on ourside in the wilds. Ignorance is truly bliss. Oh, and tequila.
I am shocked people in Michigan haven’t caught on to this winter phenomena. Yeah, and how are we supposed to drive in this stuff? What’s the deal there? Perhaps if we go slower? Or just don’t drive anywhere? these are all outlandish ideas but I thought I’d go out on a limb here with some suggestions…
Love it. This was so much fun to read, especially since reading the temp in Maine this morning stopped the self-pity over facing a day with a high of 23. This entire post could be a reality here in Arkansas. We got hammered by snow and wind and rain, and it’s not supposed to be that way here (nice way of saying we’re wimps 🙂 Now we’re moving into freezing drizzle. Really? Never heard that one before. This really is brilliantly done. So glad I stopped in.
See, you guys in Arkansas really should get worked up over this white stuff. Or even freezing drizzle (which I think is worse than snow) And thanks for your comments, they made my day. I had so much fun with this post.
Ashley ought to come down here to Idaho in the summer and report our weather. She would die of boredom. If that’s not possible, please make us a life-size cardboard cutout of her. We’ll just prop her up against a sagebrush and run the tape.
Sorry if I’m a day late and a dollar short with my comments. Also, sorry if I write comments which have already been made more eloquently by earlier commenters, but dammit, I don’t have time to read 75 comments!
I am amazed that newscasters in Maine get worked up over snow. I’ve always been under the impression that snow was common there during the 10 winter months you guys get each year. Also, I’ve always been under the impression that hard-core New Englanders were a bit more stoic and not so easily alarmed.
As for your delightful illustrations, I was amused to realize that your field reporter was wearing a pink scarf. Before my realization, I kept wondering why the giant pink missile which was heading right for the left side of her head hadn’t hit her yet.
Thanks for the news bulletin. I feel slightly less animosity toward my local news team, knowing they’re idiots no matter where they are.
yes, we do get snow about six months out of the year. Most of it comes in March when everyone else is enjoying spring weather. I would say we are still very hardcore, we ‘only’ got 12 inches yesterday, really that is barely enough to break out the shovels for us. I have no clue why our newscasters get all worked up. Must have been a slow news day. I bet if they interviewed the average Mainer on the street, they’d say it ain’t no big thing.
Oh and as for my illustrations? That is a giant pink missle. I think she had it coming.
Great job! As I saw the news reports all about gearing up for this storm (which was a doozey), I was reminded of my years is Washington, D.C. when any flake from the sky (of the snow variety, not the Congressional variety) was cause for general panic and people abandoning their cars on the side of the road.
I know it’s been a while since we’ve seen a good amount of snow around these parts, but, sheesh! 🙂
That reminds me of when I lived in Washington State, if we so much as got a dusting people would bust out the tire chains. It was sheer panic. I guess the problem is people think they can drive fast in snow, so there would be all these accidents everywhere. Us Mainers are used to driving in blizzard conditions most days. (I laughed at your ‘not the Congressional variety’! ha!)
One of the outstanding memories I have of winters in Central New York: being on-air and giving weather reports on radio station, WOLF-AM, and telling folks to stay off the roads. Ironically, I would have to go out in that snow storm to get home. I got stuck twice and was helped by passing motorists. I still had to make tacos for my daughter’s 5th birthday. Fortunately, it ended well and my daughter was delighted with hre tacos.
I always feel bad for those reporters because they have to be out in those conditions. People like poor Ashley get to freeze and risk their lives to tell us something we could figure out if we’d just look out the window. I hope they get paid big bucks.
Ab-FAB! If it weren’t so dang true!! Here in West MI, we get “Lake Effect” snow — the weather system crosses Lake MI, picks up more moisture and when the storm hits the shore, all hell breaks loose … it’s Armageddon-snow. The way the local reporters cover any hint of “lake effect” on the way {whispered for special effects} make people feel they should stock up on guns, ammo, canned goods and twinkies. Some do.
Oh no! Lake effect! AHHHHH! I can see that happening out there. Jim used to live in Dearborn Heights and you’d think even they’d be used to the weather, but no. Just another excuse to stock up on Twinkies. (if you can find them!)
I love when they tell us how to deal with extreme cold weather: “Stay indoors. If you must go outside, dress in layers.” And then the extreme hot weather: “Stay indoors. If you must go outside, walk in the shade.” At least in the Northeast, we get snow and driving does get a little tricky. In California, they have those frantic news reports when it rains.
Brilliant post, Darla. Except for the blonde hair, Ashley looks a lot like you. Is that my imagination?
Yeah, see if we’d only heed all these warnings and just stay indoors for the rest of our lives, we’d be golden!
How dare Mother Nature change things up all the time, what with the rain, then sun, then snow. God!
Hmm…and Ashley has no nose. But she looks like me you say? what are you really trying to say, Charles?
Been there, shoveled that, got the hernia scar to prove it. Now if we can avoid snowfall until some of this…
What’s that?
Snow tomorrow into Saturday?
@#*&!!!!!
Oh, you poor poor man! We have zero snowstorms in our future. Next week we hit the January Thaw! It will be in the 40s, yeehaw! (right now the temp is minus 2)
Fortunately, our next chance of anything is Sunday (I think), and they have us back up to the lower 40s early next week. And just in time – I was starting to run out of places to put the stuff!
I know–it is like we rediscover snow all over again every year, like it is some foreign entity–I broke out my boy boots today
I am shocked. Shocked we are getting snow. During the winter. In Maine. What is going to happen next?
I know — maybe we will see a snow plow
Get out.
That pretty much sums up what you get from the news! Crazy cute.
I think they should just post this blog post at the top of every hour.
Ha! Oh man, this is great, DP. I love how you did the white lines on the suit jacket, and the plastered-on smile on Ashley. The phrase “unbelievable turn of events” ALWAYS makes me laugh. How much snow have you guys gotten already??
Yes, the plastered on smile! I have one on right now, JD. 🙂 There are currently five kids in my house! yay!
It looks like we’ve got about five inches so far. We are due to get about 15 total. But it’s the wind and the snow drifts that will be bad. Well, bad for Jim when he goes outside to snow blow for three hours tonight.
Is it the snowpocalypse of 2012? Is it?!? Help!?!
Have no fear, Speaker! Just stay inside! Never go out! You’ll be fine!
Maineiac, please do a part two, where Ashley actually kneels down, picks up some snow to feel it and then describes how it feels!
ooh, I like that idea! I was going to go into more details of stating the obvious, but it took approx. 2 hours just to upload these freaking frames to my post so I gave up after Ashley’s eyeballs froze.
Haha, well I commend all of your hard work! I hope that Ashley thaws out soon.
I am hoping the tequila does the trick.
AHAHAHAHA!!! This is the best post! I am sharing it on FB; I literally just said to my husband, “Why did we hear about this huge storm for 3 days? Its six inches of snow…” That didn’t even used to bring out the damn plow; now it has a name! Did you know that we are experiencing “Snowstorm Euclid”?
Yeesh!
I had no idea they name snowstorms now. This is so exciting. Euclid. Yeah, this definitely has Euclid written allllll over it. Stupid Euclid. I really hope one day Storm Darla comes along and dumps three feet.
Euclid? Who the hell names a snowstorm something that? A sandstorm named “Euclid,” OK. Being marooned on a Greek island with the Sirens, OK, Euclid. A bloomin’ snowstorm named “Euclid.” Who writes this material?
I know! Didn’t Euclid have something to do with math? Or am I wrong here? I did sleep through most of geometry so….
Perhaps it was the mathematical storm I missed while skipping math that day. I went sledding instead.
I just looked out the window and according to my calculations…we are currently at about 3x+ 15y = shitload of snow.
I have NO idea….perhaps the “Weather Channel” marketing department?
It was just a little SNOW. We used to get this every two days for six months without a thought. It wasn’t until we passed 24 inches that we’d really pay attention. NUTS. We’re all nuts…..

I love the snow! Send some over here Ashley! -I think we have the same TV anchors here in Colorado… 🙂
Hilarious!
You need MORE snow in Colorado? Get out! I think every station has the same two anchors and they say the same two things every storm. Today, I watched a reporter reporting LIVE! in front of the town’s snowplows telling us that: “Yes! they will be putting salt on the roads! And yes!

I can see people getting a bit panicky if it was snowing in say, Hawaii.
Your daughter is 21? That is scarier than any snowstorm, Susie! Happy bday to her!
Adding happy wishes Susie. My baby will hit the same milestone in 2 months. Yikes!
Oh, Peg, that has GOT to be a bittersweet milestone for you. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my daughter is six years old.
Hang onto your earmuffs, Darla! And hike up your hiking boots, too!
teehee! I would hang onto my earmuffs but they just got blown into the next county.
I love how they always sacrifice the young Ashley’s of the newsrooms to cover the completely miserable stuff. It’s punishment for being 20 and named Ashley.
Exactly. Always Ashley. Poor poor very young, very naive, and very cold Ashley.
Aaaaaand this is why, since I crave news when I turn on the news, I have largely stopped turning on the news! Thanks for making me laugh about it instead of feeling all head-‘splodey. 😀 😀 😀
Oh, no head-‘splodey for you today, Deb. Just remain calm. Everything will be all right. I think.
Personally I’m holding out for warm snow.
I would love winter if somehow the temp could bottom out at around 70 degrees.
Ashley is going places, I can tell. Look out Baba Wawa!
Snow, you say? Pshaw! I’d have to see it to believe it.
Pshaw? I love that. I think I’ll have to use “pshaw” as my new go-to response to everything. It’s snowing in the wintertime? Pshaw! You kids want to go sledding? Pshaw! You want me to get off the couch? Pshaw!
I think I learned it from Bugs Bunny. You already got the hang of it.
He was a genius. sigh. Shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque! (I have no clue if I spelled that right and my guess is no)

At least Ashley’s not stuck in the house with 5 kids. So she’s got that going for her.
God, I hate that Ashley. I really do. Wish I could be outside drinking tequila right about now…..
y’know, I just realized: Ashley has no nose. So I win.
She also has no lower body. We all win 😉
She could be standing in a snowdrift. but yeah, I’ll go with no lower body.
-looks like the poor girl actually froze her a$$ off. Poor, poor Ashley.
I wish I could freeze my ass off. It just keeps getting bigger, so depressing.
Wow, does it snow in Maine?? Did you know, it snows in Michigan too? They should be reporting when it’s not snowing in Maine. You know where it doesn’t snow much, down in Texas where I guess it snowed like hell the other day. Now that’s newsworthy!
Exactamundo. I just watched the news and our top story is: the snow is winding down! I am on the edge of my seat here!
Ron Burgundy eat Ashley’s heart out!
Haha! Yes!
Darlizzard your drawing skills are phe-nom-i-nal! I keep seeing g Bridget Jones sliding down the fire pole when I think of Ashley. Poor kid. But I pity you even more. 5 kids inside??? And I hear you may even get some…snow!

See, when you are like me and never watch the news OR go outside, you don’t know what is going on ourside in the wilds. Ignorance is truly bliss. Oh, and tequila.
I think going outside is so overrated. I will stay in and watch TV from the comfort of my couch, thankyouverymuch.
this is the funniest snow job ever!! and i’m not just saying that cause i’m drunk. fun nee!
I couldn’t ask for a better compliment than that. Thanks!
Ha ha! It’s the exact same in Michigan! How could we possibly get snow? In December? And how are we supposed to get to work???
I am shocked people in Michigan haven’t caught on to this winter phenomena. Yeah, and how are we supposed to drive in this stuff? What’s the deal there? Perhaps if we go slower? Or just don’t drive anywhere? these are all outlandish ideas but I thought I’d go out on a limb here with some suggestions…
What is snow anyway? Never heard of it. Thank God for breaking news. You’re hilarious Darla.
I wish I had never heard of it, either. Sadly, every winter the temp insists on dropping to the point where rain freezes. It’s really got me stumped.
What would we do without all the drama? Relax, maybe? Fun post 🙂
Get out! Relax??!! Or just deal with stuff as it comes? And live in the moment? Who has time for that?
Love your creativity in this one! Ashley shouldn’t quit her day job.
Carly, I was bored yesterday, stuck inside and what better way to waste my time than use my Paint program again?
Love it. This was so much fun to read, especially since reading the temp in Maine this morning stopped the self-pity over facing a day with a high of 23. This entire post could be a reality here in Arkansas. We got hammered by snow and wind and rain, and it’s not supposed to be that way here (nice way of saying we’re wimps 🙂 Now we’re moving into freezing drizzle. Really? Never heard that one before.

You are too kind. good to know you got a kick out of my crude drawings, Jean. Art was never my thang, as you can see. 😉

We get almost exactly the same thing here in California when it rains.

Hi,
Oh this is brilliant, love the way you have done the breaking news, the drawings are fantastic. 😀
thanks, Mags, such a fun thing to do during the storm, doodle with my computer’s paint program.
Ab-FAB! If it weren’t so dang true!! Here in West MI, we get “Lake Effect” snow — the weather system crosses Lake MI, picks up more moisture and when the storm hits the shore, all hell breaks loose … it’s Armageddon-snow.

Oh no! Lake effect! AHHHHH! I can see that happening out there. Jim used to live in Dearborn Heights and you’d think even they’d be used to the weather, but no. Just another excuse to stock up on Twinkies. (if you can find them!)
I have never eaten a Twinkie. Scouts honor, not that I was a Scout 🙂
MJ
Ha! Well, i have to confess, I do not like Twinkies at all. Blech. My husband loves them, though.
Giggling here in VA–where it is mixing-precipitating or whatever you wanna call it. Love your graphics!
The mix precip is the WORST! I’d rather have two feet of snow than one inch of ice. Be careful, El
This was fabulous, this was me Christmas Day in Dallas
Dallas got snow? Crazy! Well, you’d have every right to get a bit excited. Up here, not so much. It’s just another day.
Hey, is that a McRib sandwich Jeff is eating? I hear that they are only back for a limited time. Now that is breaking news!!
Yes, good eye, Jackie. That is the McRib. Jeff sure knows how to enjoy himself while poor Ashley is outside slowly freezing to death.

I love when they tell us how to deal with extreme cold weather: “Stay indoors. If you must go outside, dress in layers.” And then the extreme hot weather: “Stay indoors. If you must go outside, walk in the shade.” At least in the Northeast, we get snow and driving does get a little tricky. In California, they have those frantic news reports when it rains.
Brilliant post, Darla. Except for the blonde hair, Ashley looks a lot like you. Is that my imagination?
Yeah, see if we’d only heed all these warnings and just stay indoors for the rest of our lives, we’d be golden!
How dare Mother Nature change things up all the time, what with the rain, then sun, then snow. God!
Hmm…and Ashley has no nose. But she looks like me you say? what are you really trying to say, Charles?
Been there, shoveled that, got the hernia scar to prove it. Now if we can avoid snowfall until some of this…
What’s that?
Snow tomorrow into Saturday?
@#*&!!!!!
Oh, you poor poor man! We have zero snowstorms in our future. Next week we hit the January Thaw! It will be in the 40s, yeehaw! (right now the temp is minus 2)
Fortunately, our next chance of anything is Sunday (I think), and they have us back up to the lower 40s early next week. And just in time – I was starting to run out of places to put the stuff!
