Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Blame gets pinned on the weather instead of on the speaker's own temper. Threatening murder sounds almost casual here, tucked between a complaint and a shrug. The humor comes from that mismatch, a violent promise delivered with the same energy as griping about the thermostat.
