Just a quick question...

[Hillbilly_Honey]

When there is a forecast of a big snow storm, do the people in your city/town freak the fuck out? I mean, I just went to Wal-Mart to get some groceries and you couldn't knock your way through that place. I honestly didn't see it that crowded during Christmas. And as I plunder my way to the back of the store...what do I see? To my amazement: NO MILK !!

There is a line backed up to the beer aisle (which was pretty depleted also). What looked like a hundred people waiting on them to re-stock the milk. I continue on through the store and what do I find? NO freaking bread! All thats left is two lil loaves of the diet wheaty shit that nobody wants. So I ask ...does this just happen here in Fuctardville or is this more common than I know?

Also, I think there should be some kind of law against this because what are those of us (who legitimately need groceries) supposed to do ? I mean lets face it folks, if you don't have enough groceries in your house to make it til 3-6 inches of snow melt, then somethin is seriously wrong.

Thank you, that is all.

we get some light showers and the news is running

'storm watch 2003'

we dont have real weather here in southern california

 

[Smiley777]

What's snow?

 

[ithaqua]

No.

When it snows 12' during the winter, you learn to make your own bread, keep a supply of canned goods, and use powdered milk (yuck) if you need to. I have never understood the problems other people have with a little snow.

Thats my point exactly..however the massive "storm" they're forecasting for us will be gone in a few hours time.

Just wait, sweetheart. You haven't experienced a February prediction of icing in Austin yet.

Stupid people are everywhere. Especially prior to "blizzard conditions".

You can actually blame this phenomenon on weather forecasters who get paid for "interrupting your regularly scheduled programs with this special Accu-Weather Doppler 5000 Forecast!" every 10 minutes.

They spell gloom and doom and terrify these idiots into thinking that they will NEVER GET OUT OF THEIR HOUSES ALIVE AGAIN! Maybe for a whole day!

So, these folks trek to their local Safeway or Kroger or Piggly Wiggly and stock up on essentials. Milk- but who really drinks the stuff? Bread, Beer, Cigs, Cheetos, Chocolate Syrup and Taco shells because G-d Forbid, you should go 24 hours without these things.

So what do they do? They fuck like jackrabbits because they think they are stuck and can't get out of the driveway. So they breed another generation of stupid folk who repeat the pattern 20 years later.

Oh, and they drive with one foot on the brake the whole time, too.

Finally !!! Someone who REALLY understands what I'm talkin about. Thank you.

We northerners never seem to freak from snow. At least in the urban to semi-rural zones we know the plows will free us in 24-48 hours from the worst storms.

 

[Nora]

Jinkies!

Tell us how you really feel, 99! hehehhe!


The only part of it that pisses me off is when they sell out of cat litter cuz the morons think they're going to need it for their driveways and walks. Because of them my kitties have to sit there, meowing with their little kitty-legs crossed! It's TERRIBLE!!

ok, not really. But still!

 

[kotori]

Oh, and they drive with one foot on the brake the whole time, too.

Except if they have an SUV. Now, finally, an excuse for the 4-wheel drive! So they go 65, thinking that somehow, they've also got more brakes than when they only had 2-wheel drive.

You can always tell the ones with 4 wheel drive...they are the ones furthest off the road in the drifts.

Ha! Nora said Jinkies! I am going to have to start using that again. wow...what a flashback.

I used to believe that. Monday I was proven short-sighted. Next thing you know somebody will tell me that 100 Inspectors trying to find hidden weapons in a country the size of California is a good plan.

 

[His_kitty]

lol Tonight I had a couple of visitors and they were telling me about the snow storm we are supposedly getting tomorrow night. Sweetly they suggested that I make a run to the store to stock up on stuff before it hits.

They don't know how minimal my needs are though.


So long as I have a good supply of cigs, diet pop and something that I can zap in the microwave I'm a perky lil thang.

 

[The Heretic]

Personally I wait until it snows and then I go to the store (if I have to) - almost nobody there then. Three to six inches? That's just a light dusting.

 

[ithaqua]

Bad Shoppers.

Just wait, sweetheart. You haven't experienced a February prediction of icing in Austin yet.

I am sure it will be panic city.

In California we have 24 hour sex shops. You'd like it here.

My point exactly...God forbid if they were forecasting a REAL snow.

Shame we live so far apart, I'd catch a ride with ya.


I'm a big ole chicken and I won't drive if there is only a true dusting of snow on the ground.
