Punny Poll #34: How About This Weather We’ve Been Having?
Author: Nick

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
