I have plenty of food. I conform to the tribal and cultural practices of Northern Virginia, so when they said it was going to be another blizzard, I went to the grocery store and stocked up. It was a madhouse. Did you see this, yesterday:

Joe Bastardi, weather expert, said this blizzard is like the President’s Day Blizzard of 1979. In 1979 we even had a week of temps ranging from 17 - 21F here on the Texas Gulf Coast. I wonder if it was the same weather formation. I had friends come down from OKC to thaw out and we had a week of freezing cold and ice. But our roads were clear even then. I have never seen icy roads here. And it snowed here, I refer to about 12”, enough to build a snowman.
Jan 1973.
Dec 1989.
Dec 2004
that is all since I lived here.
Mostly we get a tiny snow flurry that you can barely see, and that is even rare.
LOL
No I missed that.
I AM glad to know that the madness extends to other areas and not just our poor neighborhood.
I WILL say that our shelves were well stocked and the run on the stores seems to have died down.
We ARE expecting more frozen precip again next week. But we are old hands at this now: skillfully swooping to gather up pretzels, bread, milk and beer before the first flake falls.
