Snow Days.

Greetings from Georgia...

Where the hell did all of this damn snow come from?

More importantly, when is it going away?

First there was "Snowpocalypse".  I guess this is "Snowpocalypse: Redux".  Winter weather's capacity to completely paralyze the South is nothing short of amazing.  Also amazing is that the people who live here seem to always forget that stuff like this has happened before, and panic like a bunch of ants that have just had their nest kicked.

Snow has happened before.  There is no need to panic.  Feel free to calmly make the appropriate preparations.  Most of the preparation that is needed can be easily accomplished before snow is even in the forecast...perhaps in November before it's really even cold here.  There's probably an app out there to remind you that, in the cold months, frozen precipitation can occur, and it's a good idea to have canned food, water, and warm blankets on hand in case of a prolonged winter event.  

Such as it is, the majority of us will just stay in our homes, and eat leftovers out of the fridge for a couple days.  

Which brings me to another question...

What do you need milk and bread for so badly in a blizzard?  Do you not have any other food or beverage in your home?  I'd like to think that most people have at least a couple days worth of food sitting in their pantry, even if it's stuff they don't like.  Desperate times could call for desperate measures, like opening up that dusty can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle that's been in the back of your cabinet for forever.  That might save you getting trample or shot at the supermarket over some Wonderbread and a carton of Mayfield.

Maybe folks down here are just obsessed with getting their chance to answer that age old question about being on something "like white on rice, in a glass milk, on a white plate in a snow storm."  I guess that something is loaves of bread.
