Will it actually snow on the beach and boardwalk again

[SchoolGirlHeart]

Glad I was going *through* Dulles a few hours ago instead of *to* Dulles. Skies are leaden and it looks/feels like SNOW..... Blech.... Hang in there and be safe, y'all!

Predictions have us getting 1-2 feet.....if it starts on Friday, we won't see a plow until Monday (with a little luck).....

I bought a gallon of sangria, chips, wings and bananas (for daquiris)......we have beer......I think I'm ready.....

Dunno, I think I'd bump it up to 2 gallons of sangria.....

Hmmmmm......maybe you're right.......I'll head right over after work......

I could make an attempt at my originally intended destination of Gettysburg for the weekend. But I'm coming from the south and could probably only fight my way north as far as your house before I got snowed in.

Party at Linda and Bob's???? WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

It hasn't started to snow yet and shouldn't start for another 20 or so hours, we are already getting early closings for schools and cancellations for events. PANIC EVERYONE!!!!! It's gonna snow!!!! Sheesh!

Could you buy me a couple of gallons?

Oh, we're going to be partly cloudy with some chance of flurries.

Dear expatriated Northerners living in my neck of the woods,

We get it. Ha ha ha.

1. "We can't handle snow." "Snow removal efforts are pathetic".

Coming from the north, you should know that, on average, we don't get this much snow, so less resources are made available to combat the 5-10 inches we may see in an average winter. That would be what we call *smart planning from a budgeting standpoint*. If we were in an average year could you, as a northerner, explain why we'd have so much idle equipment laying around?

2. "Toilet paper, milk, peanut butter and bread *grocery store* rushes".

Dudes. This is a myth that news stations love to perpetuate. I'm heading to the grocery store and pharmacy sometime today. I plan on picking up a couple of prescriptions and some superbowl munchies. Chips, salsa and beer. And some milk. I do have kids who would eat cereal 3 meals a day if they could.

3. "We don't know how to drive in snow".

See item # 1 above. If we lived in the arctic we'd all own radial snow tires, snowmobiles, snow chains, cross country skis, at least one 4WD vehicle and we'd all own snow throwers. We don't. It snows big time here too damb infrequently to waste our money on those (I do drive a 4WD truck though). We spent our money on golf clubs and vacations. We wait it out and munch on our chips and drink our beer until the roads are cleared.

YOU can't drive much better on our roads than we can in the snow. See #1 above again. The roads ain't cleared as well as your roads up north. We have the nation's 2nd worst traffic (behind Los Angeles) on clear sunny days. Of course its worse when we have snow. It's a fact. We deal with it. You should too or move back to the arctic. I'm tired of your complaints.

4. "The News Stations are all covering a little snow with full news teams deployed and 24/7 coverage like it's never happened before".

In the south it's exactly the same thing for hurricane coverage. In the mid-west ..... tornadoes. On the west coast it's fires. mudslides and earthquakes. What? Your arctic local news stations are better with their coverage of moose hunting accidents?

Sincerely,

SP

LOL!!! Here in San Antonio, if the weather gets below 40 degrees, they have news crews out in the morning just to show off their breath, no kidding. It hasn't snowed here since '85, but if there is any ice predicted, it is treated like the apocalypse and the city shuts down. We hear some of the same stuff from snowbirds and have the same arguments. I can drive in ice, but I won't do it here.

No more sangria!!! But I did get some mint and limes....... That will work.....
