"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I should either go to Quizno's or make a grilled cheese sandwich.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
no matter where people live, they're going to complain about the weather. This, to me, is worth poking fun at.
See, I always thought that it meant no matter where you live, the weather's going to be worth complaining about.
The people I poke fun at fall into two categories a) people surprised by weather that's perfectly reasonable for their chosen locale, or b) people who blow the current impending weather out of proportion.
I don't see why, as a blanket statement, the weather wouldn't be worth bitching about.

Tom, those cupcakes are the cure for all ills.
Please make Nora cupcakes, so that she can be happy and feel better.

I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.
When I lived in Atlanta I heard someone speculating on the radio once about what might be causing an apparent city-wide compulsion to make french toast in the bathroom.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm pirating cupcake recipes off the internet. I never thought I would sink so low.
I have scallops in my freezer. I might be able to fake my way through a Scallops Newburg tonight.

I feel that once the weather is severe enough that people's lives are in danger, mentioning how bad it is does not count as complaining.
For me, that may depend on how it's mentioned. You know, like, "My hair is flat because of all this rain," (not that anyone said that, here) may deserve an even sounder mocking, when the weather is taking lives.
