Episode 232 We're snowed under with weather idioms

I went to look for weather idioms last month, and discovered none of them were about the weather! So today we're reviewing weather idioms that you can use in Business English. Actually you can use them in any situation, but our sample sentences are focusing on business scenarios today. We'll cover:Snowed under - I wish I could help but I'm absolutely snowed under - very busyA breeze - This project is going to be a breeze - so easyCome rain or shine (also come rain or come shine) - You'd better get that work finished come rain or shine - no matter whatLightning fast - Ask him to do it, he's always lightning fast - very quickTo steal your thunder - I would tell my boss my idea, but I don't want him to steal my thunder - 2 meanings, 1 to do what you were planning to do (steal your idea), 2 to steal the praise or attention.It never rains but it pours - What do you mean the printer's broken?
