Too soon!!!!!!

As a fellow Texan I can wholly agree that we DO NOT need any of that snow nonsense down here. If someone so much as spills a cup with ice in it people lose their minds and forget how to drive. And if we do get snow in the forecast, then I can't find bread at the grocery store for a week.

(For those of you unfamiliar with the big bread phenomenon in the South, if snow if forecasted we all go buy bread, lots of it, cause you never know, we could be "snowed in" for a whole day, maybe two!) .....

Same thing here...people flock to grocery stores to buy bread & milk, & often empty many other shelves too.

But considering that we really CAN get "snowed in" it makes more sense: only here it's more likely the result of an ice storm...which is really "pretty" (icicles all over,
sparkling in the sun) but it topples trees that put the power out for days to weeks...many power lines cannot be worked on until the roads (with fallen trees) are cleared.
Since weather forecasts are often wrong, we have some reason for paranoia...freezing rain is no joke.
