Tales of the Snowpocalypse - Day One

Feb 05, 2010 16:57

(Note: Being a reasonably healthy Mid-Westerner, this isn't even a snow I'd normally notice, but apparently the East Coast isn't used to multiple feet of snow at one time. So, in the spirit of my current locale, I will report on the Snowpocalypse as it happens ( Read more... )

snow, silly stuff, work, family

We're not used to multiple feet... and we're not used to digging out every week either!

*channeling my father*

It's good for you. Builds character.

That only worked as a motive until I got arthritis.

Now I've got stuff I want to do on the weekends and would like a damned weekend free to do them in.

People do stuff on the weekend? Since when?

Live on a decently busy road: Traffic reduces drastically once the first flakes are spotted. People begin spinning out as of twenty minutes ago... with the road still visible through the snow. *sigh*. We're drama queens. Seriously. Wanna bet the grocery store is out of TP, milk, and ice cream ( ... )

I know Costco was a nightmare last night. I saw people nearly get into fights because they were trying to fill up before the storm hit today.

The only way I'd have gone into one of the grocery stores last night was if I was allowed to wear my kendo armor and carry both swords. I can imagine the TP and milk vanished before 6PM last night.

I don't even want to imagine. Although I was pulling out my best glare at Walmart buying wood pellets for our stove the night before last. Mostly because they kept trying to run me over in order to get to the grocery section. That was two days ahead, I don't even want to imagine it this morning or before the snow started to actually pile up. And yeah... armed and armored is a very good idea. I got elbowed several times in the line because people were packed in like sardines. The oh-my-god, we're going to have snow, we must have groceries! My Dad sees it more as 'if we get snowed in, we have an excuse to clean out the pantry and eat the soups we bought six months ago and never touched'. Just... milk. Which is why you always have a supply of Parmalat hiding in the back of the pantry in case of emergencies. *snicker* Shopping before it snows counts as an emergency, too.
