Heigh-ho!

Snow on the Marsh
Ideas for getting rid of the snow mountains and unshoveled walks:
Boy and Girl Scoutsput those kids to work dammit. Have them earn snow clearing badges for Bast's sake!
Ship itI understand Northern California is having an unprecedentedly dry, warm winter. Surely they'd welcome our record setting bounty. Right?
Flamethrowers—we should all have personal flamethrowers to clear those treacherous sidewalks. Mine will be eggplant hued and fit nicely, handily in my backpack.
Raccoon Island
Patience—this'll all be no more than a hard memory in a couple of months. Patience? Nah, Hell will freeze over before I'm a calm, tolerant soulHEY! Let's ship all of the white stuff to Hell—bet the fuckers down there'd appreciate a break. Eh?
   
Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
Act II, Scene 7 from As You Like It
Blow, blow, thou winter wind.
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember’d not.
Heigh-ho! sing, &c.
