Phrase of the Month: "Snow fighting"

From the website for the Seattle Department of Transportation:
Seattle is not Snoqualmie Pass! In Seattle, we may use the same trucks for paving streets one day and for winter weather response the next. An investment in equipment that is exclusively dedicated to snow fighting would not be a good value for the taxpayers year to year.
Steep topography, like the Queen Anne Counterbalance, First Hill and the intersection of 35th Avenue SW and Avalon, add to the complexity of snow fighting in Seattle.
We may not have the money or the resources to fight you, Cursèd Snow...

...I don't know what comes after that. I wanted to say something threatening, but I don't have the resources.

I guess the snow wins after all. Resistance is futile.

OH MY GOD!! Not the horses, too! Poor, poor snow-fighting horses!

  1. "The complexity of snow fighting." Sounds like a really pretentious album name for an indie rock band.
