We're going to have a snowstorm today. And people are acting like the apocalypse is here. It's going to start at noon, last all day and into the night, and encompass as much as 14 inches of snow in some places in the state. We're supposed to get somewhere between four and eight around here, but then there'll be sleet and ice afterwards. The authorities are warning of possible power outages if worst comes to worst. I'm sure the local grocery is almost out of milk and bread, because even though most American homes contain enough food to last for a couple of weeks, people do panic when given enough news warnings. The Red Cross says they have 550 volunteers on reserve to set up emergency shelters if necessary.
Around the Lee household, we did buy milk, since we were almost out. We also bought oatmeal, raisins, and chocolate chips, because I firmly believe in making cookies when it rains or snows all day. And if we make cookies, we needed milk anyway. Greg is excited because it sounds like he's going to be able to try out his brand new snowblower. We have plenty of wood for the fireplace, some candles, lots of batteries if we could just find some of the zillion flashlights we own.
The worst part? We could lose internet access. Oh, the horror!
