    You wont believe me, but DC mobs get really bad when the forecasters start screaming snowflakes. The panic among the masses driving to and from the stores are palatable.

    I don't recall a time we had to go to the store in such times. We always had plenty of oil and firewood as well as food. The basics.

    Here in Arkansas, it's nice here. Just plenty cold. For us. Running water all week. It will be about 5 more days before we get warm enough to quit that.

    Oh I believe you.
    There is just a sick part of me that really enjoys it when the weather man forecasts a winter storm that could keep you in your house for a day or 2. And people freak out and buy every morcel of food available as if the apocalypse has just been announced. It really is nothing to worry about, not like a hurricane or an actually destructive storm.

    If you really want excitement wait until a ELE is announced. (Extinction Level Event) such as a pending strike by a mega asteriod the size of texas capable of wiping out the earth and everything on it. Law and Order will go bye bye in a real hurry.

    I share a little bit of that bent damaged part watching people who have not done anything to grab all that food. All of which is brought by truckers god bless them. (And #### the dispatcher too... LOL... /snark)

    Son of a... I knew it! We should have built a northern wall too. They’re freezing us out so they can take over.

    Next thing you know, we’ll all be speaking Canuckian, eating poutine and living in igloos.

    Does that mean you can taste fear? Or did you mean palpable?
