And yes, people called 911. [:D]
Never understood why they don't prepare there and end up going bat guano crazy.
The area gets snow (get this) EVERY....Single... YEAR!
When I worked in Bothell, they didn't understand why I felt it was unnecessary to be on their "weather alert text list". I told them it was because I was going to be making the trek to work. They said "but what if it snows?" I don't think I could have given them a more puzzled look.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

If you wake up and see snow all around...you can stand outside and listen for the cracking and popping of trees coming down.
The worst I can remember was in 1993....we were without power for over a week. There were areas that had two feet of snow. Huge trees had come down EVERYWHERE and knocked out every power line they could along with blocking roads. It was INSANE. My parents had a generator and a wood burning stove....so we were ok, just cooped up.
Good ole boys in monster trucks with 44 inch bead locker mudders and 500 horsepower gm power plants...
Locking differentials and winches and pumpkin rears and articulated suspensions...
Mud bog and rocky trail moab champs...
All dead - killed by a little black ice and 3-4 snowflakes
My jersey born sister in a minivan or a Mustang could drive right past all the mullet wearing corpses rotting in mud bigger coffins
Sigh
Arrrgh

Still....I'd spend the night in a ditch with any good ol' boy before getting in a car with a gal from Jersey! [:D]

Damnfools still want to drive 80 mph (in a 70 zone) to work in the morning. Never mind that there was another six inches of snow overnight, and the bridges have black ice - these mental midgets will NOT slow down.
UHP reported 117 slideoffs TODAY just on I-15 through the Provo-Salt Lake City-Ogden metro stretch (about 100 miles). Plus 30-something collisions.
'Scuse me while I buy some stock in towing companies...
It's starting to flurry, Only expecting a dusting on the roads, and they've already called off school for today and tomorrow.

Got around 5 - 6 inches of snow on Sunday, and with the cold it is still clean and white. The wind is building drifts on the lake, giving it a texture that, combined with the clear skies and sun, is just stunning.

The town got hit with 6" of snow and the AFB had the only plow trucks to clear the roads![:D]
The locals were all over the ditches and everyone was in a great panic.
I was a hero![:p]
-6 ?F this morning, so I had to put on a windbreaker.

-7 at my place. I noticed that the transmission in my pickup didn't go into gear as fast as normal. I wore gloves.

Weuns calls them things 'mall cruisers' around these parts.
It's called, the great bread phenomenon. When it snows, you must have bread. If you cannot find bread, buy either hot dog rolls or hamburger rolls. When you see all the kids here, eating their school lunches on hot dog rolls, you will understand why[;)] Oakie
What always stumps me is seeing the Desperation Shoppers with candles and batteries.
What did they do with the candles and batteries they bought the last time someone saw a snowflake? [?]
I can't wait until the people start driving around and get stuck...because they were driving around....LOOKING at the people who were stuck.

Can someone survive on only bread and 1/2 gallon of milk when it snows?
I guess if it comes right down to it I will have to go with other "groceries"....but I don't think its going to count.
The schools are going nuts. KSU and Georgia Tech just announced that they are closing at noon..... Umm.... class does not start until Monday and that means my daughters cant get their books unless they get there before noon....
Publix had plenty of milk, but were out of broccoli and chicken. (and there was only sorry assed cucumber) They have been having supply problems since Christmas at my store.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Power almost always goes out so Tomorrow I go get gas for the generator and Propane for the heaters and I will be set. Well besides the Milk and Bread.[:D]
I have to load the SHOT Show truck in the AM (yes, I still get to drive the towmotor [:D]) . As long as I can get the truck on the road and then get to the Airport on Monday I'm good. There have been years where we got a room near the airport the night before knowing the roads would be crap. I hope this year is not that case!!!
Where is "Shot" this year?.....
Yep.....get your milk and bread people. We have been warned.....well, more of a "maybe" we will get snow....but if snow DOES happen you really want to be sure you have the two most cherished items known to man.

If you had a milk cow or even a nanny goat this would never be a problem...
Larry could milk them each morning.
No snowmagedon milk worries ever again.
And buy a counter top breadmakee...

Friend up on the Hill is getting ready Baking bread for the Family only time she left the house was to take some to her son and light his fireplace so the house would be warm when he got home.

I used to like canning things....but I soon learned that whatever you can ends up being so much work and such you end up almost hating it. I canned tomatoes....cases and cases of them because its one of the easiest things to do and you can put canned tomatoes in EVERYTHING. I once made chicken soup.....it was WONDERFUL! The fact that it took an entire weekend and the house smelled like chicken soup forever was a total turnoff! Now I can't smell it without remembering all of that mess.
We had a few goats at one time...not the kind you milk, just trying to cut out some weeds behind the house. Those things are SUCH a pain! They have 6 acres of thick, never ending green mess to chomp on....but they INSIST on escaping and eating your flowers or school books that your kids leave on the steps at the back door.
Pioneer people are made of stronger stuff than me.....for sure!

Why did the goats have the books to leave on the steps in the first place?
