Punny Poll #34: How About This Weather We’ve Been Having?
Author: Nick
Category: Money
Topics: home, poll

Last week’s month’s decade’s Punny Poll was a quick little survey to see how everyone’s enjoying the comics I’ve been throwing up with each article. With a nearly 90% approval rating, I think it’s about time for the comics to run for political office! Almost 20% of you said I should go as far as to quit writing articles altogether and just do comics. While I admit that my ongoing battle with writer’s block often makes this tempting, I just don’t see Punny Money becoming a comic-only endeavor anytime soon.
In the wake of all this disastrous weather we’ve been having lately, and to go along with my recent anti-hurricane wall proposal (which I hear has been read by researchers at MIT on a placemat in their cafeteria), I thought it’d be interesting to see how everyone’s finances have “weathered” Mother Nature’s recent fury.

What bad weather? It’s been mid-70’s and sunny here for a while now.

Fortunately, I don’t live in a flood plain or in hurricane country. Nor do I live in tornado alley or the frozen tundra that we call Alaska. I live in nice, pleasant San Diego which has been having awesome weather as of late. We did have a pretty hot spring, but since I don’t have air conditioning the impact on my finances was minimal at best (what is the extra cost of having 8″ fan constantly on?).

The eternal “I have better/worse weather than you” line.
Its nice if you’re a frog, better if you’re a iceworm, rotten if your a girl with mold alergies and it has not stopped raining since march. If I wanted to have a cold wet rainy summer I would have stayed in Portland in February. Anchorage’s coldest wettest summer on record = 8 hours strait removing moss!?!?! from the roof and no camping out. (200$ per night for hotels during peak season)

We have actually been pretty lucky in the past few years. I think the last severe hurricane we had was back in the 90’s. We have been suffering from a pretty bad drought though, so I guess really we could use all the rain that comes with a hurricane, but could do without the damage

Ha, never thought about the weather %’s like that before. Out here in SF it’s pretty easy to predict the weather. Winter: rain, summer: fog, fall: beautiful

There is little blatant honesty in the world both online and irl. You highlight that in a fun way with this hilarious cartoon.

It’s funny how environmental factors beyond our control really can influence financial markets. If you have invested in Insurance shares and you get a bad flood or hurricanedamage it is amazing how much of a hit these types of shares can take as it undermines profits

Where is that comic from? It looks like XKCD’s style, but I’ve read all his and know he didn’t make it.
