MIA: Snow

Saturday, Jan 10, 2008. We all waited today for the overly advertised "snow storm" which forewarned of 6-9 inches of snow. Of course, the weather-fright trek to the grocery store, fighting the masses all buying the same things: milk, eggs, bread, T.P. (that is a good one). With snow removal such as it is these days, why we rush to buy these staples when we know within a day, everyone is back to work and/or moving about. The toilet paper has always been a nuance for me! Why Toilet Paper? I mean, do most people only keep one roll on their spinner and no reserves? I can't imagine!

At any rate, I did go to the store today, picked up a prescription for Seth, some cupcakes, some lunchmeat, some popcorn--you know all those "I am stuck in the house foods" that please and comfort. I didn't, however, get the necessary 4: milk, eggs, bread, T.P. It looked a little like Christmas Eve with all the cars in the parking lot. Inside the store, I kept thinking it better snow, because these shelves are nearly bare. The store will be forced to close anyway-may as well put down the white stuff!

Here it is: 5:30pm. Guess what! No snow. Nope, not one flake. We have had a drizzle of rain, which I suspect may freeze, however, not one snowflake. Guess they called it wrong again. Oh well. The local grocer is happy! His coffers have bee filled!


Happy COLD Snowy Day
