Yeah, but how did the city turn out? I have visions of Katrina happening all over again in the Metro area. Hope I’m wrong.

Its not really a north/south thing. While we’re more familiar with the weather in the north, rural and small town people are pretty much the same everywhere.

After the big January snowstorm here I slogged 300 yards down to the neighbor’s house at the dead end to ask the elderly couple if they needed anything. I ended up picking up their mail at the post office for the next couple of days till their snowplow guy got to them.

This is not a new thing. On jan 28, 1977, a blizzard struckBuffalo, NY. We had 42 inches of snow on the ground and got 22 more. This was with 100mph winds and a temperature below zero. Strangers helped strangers and neighbors helped neighbors, that is what we do.

They survived Grant.

I doubt a little weather will faze them all that much.
