DANGEROUS SNOWSTORM IMMINENT!!! DC is looking at a possible 20 to 28 inches of snow and blizzard-like conditions over the next 48 hours. Holymoley! let’s all freak out and run to the grocery store and deplete supplies of milk, TP, and other essentials like cookie dough and Bud Light. Admittedly, I was one of them this morning, at the local Safeway, about 15 people deep in line, waiting to get what I *need* for the next few days. Many people were given the day off work in order to avoid a nasty evening commute.
Anyways, I wish that people would relax a little, stop listening to the non-stop media hype (do we really need to name everything??), and look at this as an opportunity to spend some time indoors with your family and friends, catch up on some reading, learn a new recipe, and just be thankful that, perhaps, your crazy plans for running all over town are probably cancelled this weekend. It’s almost like Mother Nature is encouraging us to slow down and hunker down, and eventually enjoy the beauty of the snow and the peace and quiet once it all piles up. Either that, or buy as much wine as you can, get out your sleds, and follow the best storm advice out there from http://snowpocalypsedc.com. Remember, it’ll never get this bad…

I must agree with JJ’s eloquently written comments on the hipocritical nature of the post. But I can also forgive you at the same time. For the second paragraph of the post mimics my thoughts exactly. It IS almost like Mother Nature is speaking to us……………and she is saying…………………”I run things around here dammit……….so don’t mess around with me………..or I will drop three feet of snow on your sorry ass”…………ha ha…………………at least that is what she is saying after I drank all that Bud Light and wine you perscribed me………
