In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “If it snows today…” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2262 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “If it snows today…” meme mean?

The meme pokes fun at a way of arguing: naming a culprit before any proof, then dodging criticism by saying you are “opening the debate”. The line “Yes it’s their fault, but I’m asking the question” carries its own contradiction, which is the joke. It is used to parody comments that blame a usual target for everything from the weather to late trains. The tone is mocking and aims at the technique rather than at any particular group.

Where does the “If it snows today…” meme come from?

The formula, built on the idea that weather such as snow would be “their fault”, imitates the style of social media comments and talk-show panels where someone starts a controversy while pretending only to ask a question. The card gives the full line: “Oui c’est de leur faute mais je pose la question, j’ouvre le débat.” This rhetorical pattern, recognizable by its self-contradicting admission, has served as a template for many variations where snow is swapped for other subjects. The meme circulates mainly as text, screenshots and humorous edits.

  • Twist the phrase to blame a neighbor for the rain.
