We're supposed to get snow today.

About 60 miles from the coast.

What a bleeccchy day.

I remember one time we got an inch of snow & it was like it was the end of the world! People all over the roads, everything shut down. It amused me having lived in NH my whole life. Must be mayhem right now!

When I moved South, I was stunned to see cars spun out in an inch of snow.
It got even worse couple years back when we had snow that stuck for 2 cold days.
The slighest incline trapped fearful folks.
I had to really work at not laughing.

And what IS it about the bread and milk stampede??????

One of the hazards of living in certain places is that you get ice along with the snow. Ain't nobody driving well on ice. Now they wouldn't drive right anyway, but there are times that nothing would help.
Bread and milk runs are mandates in emergencies. It's a pretty widespread notion. I think it translates into whatever the hell you need. It's just easier to say.

I was stuck up on a mountain in Humboldt County, CA for over a week. It was a solid sheet of ice on the road out of there. I had a 4X4 with gnarly tires, but even that was useless on that road. Tire chains would have likely made a difference, but I didn't have any available.

We had flurries this morning but it's gone now. Nothing on the ground.

It's a misdemeanor if you don't get it the day of the storm.

any amount of snow that obscures the grass), I'd look at our bread and dairy aisles and you would think there was a global collapse.

from the re-enactment down hyeah in the capital city:

They can stay out there and re-enact getting through the cold.

...had to go up to the cedar cabinet and dig out one o' them lawng-sleeved shirts.

They're of normal size now but still falling

it changed over to snow. We still gathered up the dogs in the van for their weekly go-ride and went to Danville for regular shopping. It wasn't snowing much in Danville but it was snowing like hell in Caswell when we left and when we got back. It's still coming down hard but the ground is warm enough it's not sticking; just in the trees where it belongs.

NoNoNoNoNoNoNo NoNoNoNoNo - anything but that.

They say it might phreeze here tonight and tomorrow night.


(Sorry my "f" is broken)

Stay inside, make lots of coco!
