Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Ap, you should see the way Tucsonians, uh, drive in the rain. Admittedly, rain in the Phoenix-Tucson desert valley tends to come as powerful thunderstorms, and the desert soil doesn't sponge the stuff up -- and Tucson road underpasses haven't much drainage. Somebody always ends up wet up to his ass if not drowning, trying to push through something that could be ponding rain water eight feet deep.

Snow in Tucson is actually apparently less of a problem -- because the Tucsonians don't drive in the stuff to speak of, but instead cancel all appointments, run outside, and play in it, because they know it will all be gone tomorrow! And it might not come back for two years. So, little driving but plenty snowball fights.
