Badass Picture of a Frozen Car

WEST SEATTLE, Washington, February 25, 2010 (WSFB) – In weather news, El Niño almost fucked up the Vancouver Olympics and is skewing our own West Seattle feel for what Mother Nature will bring. It also minimizes my ability to appropriately use that badass picture of  a frozen car you see to the left.

Look, every year we have some kind of weather event. A foot of snow in January, bitter cold temperatures that coat the city in ice, that Jewish windstorm a couple of Decembers ago. What was that called? The Hanukkah Storm? Yes, the wind had a Yiddish accent that night….

But who doesn’t need, want, or will a snow day?

KANT 12’s weatherman, Bjorn Ibenhoff, had this to say. “Seattle is the ideal market for a weatherman. We mostly say it’s either showers changing to rain with a chance of sun or rain changing to showers with sunbreaks possible. And every year we get a HUGE WEATHER EVENT to spice it up.  This year? Grits, man. It’s fucking bland.”

Furthered Ibanhoff, “This is beyond un-newsworthy. This winter has been mild with a chance of something a little less than mild, but not much. No complaints from me, though. I want to be a weatherman in Seattle now as much as I used to want to be one in Hawaii. Show up late, have some coffee, catch up on gossip, fuck an intern, go to makeup, say the SAME DAMN THING I SAID YESTERDAY,  and then maybe hit happy hour with a different intern.”

“Yeah…. Seattle weather is money, baby. Nice frozen car pic by the way.”
