Anybody who talks about it is obviously on their last conversational legs. It’s really just something that you want to avoid at all costs.

Unless, of course, you’re the individual behind the Twitter account for Surrey’s police department in Southeast England. Then, talking about the weather is fun.

We say this because of three tweets sent Tuesday morning that foretold some inclimate weather conditions in a very unique method of phrasing, one that threw a nod to Vanilla Ice, that legend of bad rap songs from the 1980s and that second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flick.

No wonder the account has managed to accumulate more than 18,000 followers. Alright, enough talk. Stop, collaborate, and listen:
