_ahem_
Allow me to channel the Washington/Baltimore area with the incoming prospect of snow…
_ **AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!** _
Me, I was planning on making grilled cheeses for dinner tonight and I need some bread.
With an anticipated 4 inches of snow coming what are **YOU** going to do to ensure your survival through this dreaded event?

Nothing. Not a damn thing. I’m just glad I get to take a train to work. Well ok I might make some tea tonight but that’s about it.

Relax and enjoy it! We haven’t had a decent winter since 1995-96!

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I NEED TO BUY MILK AND BREAD AND TOILET PAPER! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Oh, wait. It’s only supposed to snow. I thought you said nuclear attack. Never mind.
[sub]What the hell is this? Isn’t it December? December means snow up to my ass and having to warm up the car for 20 minutes before driving anywhere. Buncha sissies. Back away so I can get my shorts and tank top on now, 'kay?.[/sub]

It’s not so much the snow as the cold that has my poor spouse suffering. His heater ran all night last night and the temp still dropped so that it was in the 50s on the boat this morning. He’s not happy. His cat isn’t happy either. I think it’s time he found a job back here in Florida…
**Ginger** - you should have seen the insanity here on the two occasions in the last 20 years when it snowed in NE Florida!! Buncha wussies!

:hopping around like someone who just one a car on the Price is Right:
Hell yeah!
I can’t wait. I’m a big kid in the snow. I’m already planning the snowball barrage tactics for Thursday morning.
SNOW!!!

::bouncing around:: It’s snowing here! And sticking even! (I’m sure it’ll be even better up in Washington) Yay!
I love snow. It makes me happy. Plus, I don’t have to drive in it, so it’s okay to wish for more! Woohoo!

I did. Nyah. And it didn’t require excessive amounts of toilet paper, either.

_Siiiiiigh_
Ah, you wacky snow-starved Southerners. Be glad you weren’t all up here in my apartment, last week. The heat didn’t work until this weekend, and it’s been a touch nippy of late, in my neck of the woods.
Of course if you all HAD been in my apartment, the body heat would probably have been enough to - never mind.
To anyone who’ll be on the roads in the snow - Drive safely!!

And my in-laws are coming in today on a bus from Pittsburgh. I guess they’ll make it before the storm starts.
You know what sucks? Even if the building where I work closes, I still need to be here because I’m “essential” and because I’m a contractor.

And y’all had me worried. Good thing I kept my cold-weather stuff from Minnesota.

Bring it on! Snow is the only good thing about winter, except for no bugs. Too bad I have to work, anyway. I’d like to spend the day playing in it with my sons…

I hope I get a day off. We gotta go shopping anyway, so I may just do a late-night run after my violin lesson.
Which means there won’t be no food in the stores. Damn.

Something about this line just bears repeating. I like it.

_Four_ inches? You guys are worried about four lousy inches? Toledo, Ohio most assuredly ain’t the snow capital of North America, but four inches? That ain’t even enough to prevent me from stopping at the bar on the way home from work.
