“CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR NORTH WILL DIRECT COLD AIR INTO CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA”

This is a direct act of war. When are we going to hold the Canadians accountable?

My neighbor, a transplanted Yankee, was moaning about having left his snow shovel up North when he moved down here.

“Why?” I asked>

“Well, to shovel my driveway.”

I replied “Friend, you can shovel your drive all you want, you ain’t getting on the road.”

Doesn’t sound like much of storm, the trick is to have the news scare the fools off the road so they are not there when you are.
