That’s the stuff! Might as well find the fun in it.

ETA: No disrespect to Mr. DeBlasio, but I guess every storm could, emphasis could, grow like Topsy but it’s not likely. It’s gonna get snowy, sure, but the worst since 1872? If the next couple of days are worse than the Blizzard of '88 then I haven’t laid in enough liquor, I can tell you that. Seriously, even a big blizzard is an inconvenience for like 36 hours. People got to relax, you know?

Gassed up the generator, made two lasagnas, checked all the flashlights, bought new guitar strings and made sure the kindle is loaded.

“I haven’t laid in enough liquor,”

Thanks for the reminder- one more stop to make.

Oh I miss it. Real quiet time. Power out, woodstove, few jugs of water, lanterns, ice chests full of food. 3 days later back up to speed. Use to 4 wheel drive it all night looking for stuck cars to pull out.
would love to see a 2 or 3 foot snowstorm here in this state. lol lol It would actually be hilarious. The news would say it’s the coming of the lord and the end is near. lol lol sheesh, they even close schools at 32 degrees on sunny days.
The 1/2 inch we got the other night is known as “The Winter Event” it melted off by 9 am. But by golly, they got over 400 pictures sent in to share at the most accurate news team in the country. lol
Hilarious. lol

4:58 am, getting ready to go into work early, because storm or not, I haz deadlines. I have heard the grocery store shelves are empty. Some of us think these storm warnings are really just short term economic stimulus. We’ll see, I’m in the Litchfield hills… Blizzards are fun, unless you’re broke and out of electricity, as too many of us tend to be with our sub-standard wages and aging infrastructure.
