1. My cousin lives by Charleston, SC. She has snow. She is not happy.

Just the other day she was saying how she much prefers her weather to what we have in Michigan. Oops!

2. Combine it with the category 5 shitstorm in DC

And this could be the worst storm in decades.

3. I have a feeling that I should be more freaked out than I am.

However, I'm just not that concerned. I'll WFH tomorrow and I have some food, so I'm not too worried. Maybe I should be.

4. If you are in going to be/or in it, a power failure backup might be wise.

High potential for power lines down, from snow or wind or both.

That could be deadly for some people who have only electric heat.

5. here in Piedmont NC it was predicted

to not make it this far west... chapel hill ... but it did and we got a healthy inch of fine snow and every flake stuck as we've not been above freezing for several days, and down in low teens at nite... no big deal right?
I live 8 miles from work, and we closed early so staff could get home safe... I stopped at the store for a bottle of vino, I have milk and bread 😁
and then spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get home 😳 cars abandoned, pileups of multiple vehicles, people with NO clue how to drive spinning wheels and blocking both lanes of interstate... I'm in a BMW my boss lent me while my truck is in repair and could have cruised by it all, but the jams have traffic backed up for miles... I finally made it and saw my first snowplow about 1/2 mile from home... it will have to be cleared as temps are crashing for the next 3 days so nothing will be melting any time soon .... all of this clusterfuck over 1 INCH of very fine snow 😖

6. did you have to wait at the wine store?

Here, NY area, they just showed lines wrapping around the block at Trader Joes in Manhattan.

7. no, 2 minutes

just the vino and on the road... I almost chewed the cork out tho on the way home after backed up for so long while ding dongs spun their wheels and snarled traffic

it's all good now... 🍷
