We are forecast to get 1 to 2 inches thru tomorrow morning. It is currently snowing.
Schools have already been closed for tomorrow. Multiple accidents and one highway
has been shut down due to an accident. It is the start of an apocalypse.

We had a little here this morning but it was a real shitshow. Cause of the frickin ice underneath it. Worst winter driving conditions I've seen in the 8yrs I've been here.

Luckily, there was milk and bread at the store this morning. We got home before it started.
We got two gallons, one at Aldi and one at Sams Club. It was nerve wracking.

Edit: the genny, stored water and cord of wood should get us to tommorrow late afternoon for the thaw.

Oxford city schools shut down early. Mine's hoping she doesn't have to go back tomorrow. Not much of anything really around here as far as accumulation. I'm headed to AR for duck opener this weekend. First time in a long time we won't be fighting mosquitoes for opening weekend. Hopefully the snow and front pushed some birds down.

There will not be a gallon of milk or loaf of bread to be found in the area after a few more hours.

I always wonder if there is a secret milk sandwich recipe I don't know about.

I've not had that particular iteration but in my experience , Beam is a lot like Evan Williams. I've enjoyed everything I've had from either, up and down the line.

It appears my prayers have been answered...and my work here is done.

I lived in NY. I asked the same damn question.
When it snows... why does everyone go to get milk. And bread. The fuck are you going to do with milk and bread? Some nasty fucking soup?

Snow is fun though enjoy it when/while you can.

Every on and off ramp becomes a Gymkhana session. Every vacant parking lot too.

Grab some rope and get sleds, tow your buddies through walmart's parking lot. Or snowboards if they have snow boards.
There's snowmobiling. Snow boarding. It's a riot.

I put sand tires on a banshee once. It is quite effective at sending a rooster tail of snow about 40 feet in the air. Just don't lift/stop. Or it will dig it's way to rock hard ground.

It really isn't the end of the world.
The fun really starts when it gets 20-50 below 0 and your water pipes below the frost line freeze and break.
While it's snowing.
And there's 40-60mph wind gusts.

That's when pine sap will freeze and when it expands, you'll hear shot gun blasts out in the woods. It's just the trees blowing out. You'll see the bark scattered all over the place.

Snow also acts like a muffler. Everything is much more quieter and tranquil when it snows.
I miss it.

LOL yes.
The best part about snow, hiding the beer in a snow bank and it's nice and cold. Unless it gets below 0 then you're fucked.
I found that out first hand. When I found bits and pieces of glass in the yard in spring, I was like alright. Who's the assho... OHHHH so that's where that 18 pack of bottles went... doh!

Tennessee did a good job prepping the roads for it, but it all vanished at the MS state line on 269. The bridges on the bypass were treacherous as hell, and more than once I slid all 18 wheels around. Once I was on 55 the roads became just wet, but ice continued to build up on my mirrors, windshield, and wipers.

It will be days before we know how many survivors there are. Right now they are abandoning their vehicles because they won’t go. We will have to wait for everyone to walk home and let a loved one know they lived through this mess.

Ha! Here in Mississippi all schools, government offices, and most stores close at the mere prediction of snow flurries.

Of course our highway maintenance folks have no salt or snow plows or anything.

All we have are signs that say:
