Possible.  Especially around here... but the fishing probably wouldn't
be good for another couple of months...

 DS> 2) A pothole so big that the pothole repair truck got stuck in it.

Not totally improbable... 

 DS> 3) A pothole so big that all you see is the top of the giraffe's neck.

Now that one is unlikely....

 DS> 4) A pothole so big that it opened its own gift shop. 

LOL

 DS> But, you need several days of real warm and dry weather, for the new
 DS> asphalt to repair the pothole, to take hold.

There are cold-patch fixes, that work for a while, even in colder
weather, but this winter hasn't even been conducive for those... too
cold even for them...
