I live where we do occasionally get substantial amounts of snow.
What always amuses me is that every time this happens. the stores run out of snow blowers and shovels.
What are these people doing with them?? Using them once then throwing them away?
Also find amusing is every time this happens. People flock to the store and buy enough groceries to last a month, as if we might actually be snowed in that long.
Hell. I dont even go out of my way to buy bread or milk unless we are actually out of it.
Snowed yesterday and all of last night. We by my house got about a foot. Depending on how it drifted. some spots a little more. others a little less.
Any event. Enough to make me use my 10 year old snow blower. I woke up around 10:00. 10:30 went out, did my driveway and sidewalk. And 11:30 ran to the store for some smokes and my Monster drink. While I was there. picked up a bag of rock salt for the places that were ppacked down from walking on that the snow blower didnt get up.
Roads were clear. Actually they were clear at 10:00 when I got up and looked out side. And thats pretty typical around here regardless of how much snow we get.
Which is why I find it so amusing when I see people hoarding groceries at the very threat of snow.
