They’ll be out and about by Thursday.

Still more food than all of Venezuela

That is what the Governors of the northeast are asking folks to do, stay off the roads so to let the roads get cleaned up.

I’d be more concerned about the liquor store.

Its a unstudied, but predictable phenomenon in which on come serve inclement weather triggers an insatiable desire for French Toast.

I have 2 packs of 9 each, along with the pack I’m currently finishing off.

yep!

I remember being so happy the week before thinking that I wasn’t going to have to drive to Topeka for Air Force drill in the snow because I had to do that the past 5 months!!

Talk about egg on my face

OH THE HUMANITY! what happens if they run out of McDonald’s fries and chicken nuggets???

It’s had for those in the Midwest to imagine, but most of the urban dwellers don’t have much food in their homes.

A couple of my in-laws only have orange juice, coffee and cream in their kitchen. Before their last move to the Phoenix area, they got rid of all kitchen-ware except the coffee pot, four coffee cups, and four drinking glasses. They eat every meal out at restaurants, and he uses the kitchen for a workshop.

They were from Illinois, originally.

Preppers’ PING!!

"I’d be more concerned about the liquor store."

I've heard tell that if you have taters and a 5 gallon bucket a coil of copper tubing with some fittings and a pressure cooker you don't need to go to the liquor store.

Of course I have absolutely no first-hand knowledge of such things...

Just sayin'

And our former wonderful mayor will be passing out lo-cal 4 oz bottles of spring water. ;-0

I guess the region did not get the memo concerning the “warmest” year on record. The cold hard facts is: it is cold but it seems the environmentalists live on another planet.

[WKUHilltopper]

Neighbors. It’s “whats for dinner”.

[Sacajaweau]

if you don’t have enough food for a week already...you’re an idiot.

[RightGeek]

Don't forget the Pork Brains!

Also good for Islamic terrorist like garlic for vampires.

Historic?

Last years favorite word was vortex...

[Republican1795.]

Which will freeze in no time now.

[Republican1795.]

Jet stream = polar vortex.

I find it hard to believe all those people actually had to go buy food. I look in my pantry and I have enough to last a month without having to go to the store.
