It is so hot I hope there is a blizzard.

Question

Hace tanto calor que espero que haya una ventisca

EDIT: Thanks to Guillermo and Heidita. I still need to say this every day here!

It is so hot I hope there is a blizzard.

Please correct my Spanish! Especially, I am not sure if the weather expression is correct, though I am pretty sure it needs to be in the subjunctive.

And just for laughs, look at this link - click on August 16 if you're checking this on another day.

Answer 1

Your sentence is not gramatically wrong, but it sounds better to me adding "una" before "ventizca".

"Hace tanto calor que espero que haya una ventisca."

Answer 2

Es tan mucho calor espero hay una ventisca.

It is so hot I hope there is a blizzard.

Sorry, this is not correct.

With calor use hacer.

Hace tanto calor que ojalá hubiera una tormenta de nieve.

This is the translation, but this would make no sense in Spanish. We might want to say:

...ojalá lloviera, nevara....

Thank you, Heidita - if I want to use the word "blizzard" "ventisca" how would I express it? - revmaf, Aug 18, 2010

I did this using SD's dictionary and www.wikipedia.com. Hope it's helpful!

No it doesn't seem correct to me... - culé, Aug 16, 2010
