Snow....again and, are YOU scarred by the Blizzard of 78?

Seriously people...WTF is up with our weather??!!

We may or may not be able to have afternoon/evening classes today...we decide around 3pm so if you're reading today-call or check the website for info, ok?

So, as some of you already know, I moved here in 1982 for school. Prior to that, I lived for 5 years in MT (land of WAY more snow that this...which I thought I was getting out of!) and, prior to that, was born and raised in S. CA. I was not here in 1978; however, my extended family was. (Father's side)
Anyway, when I moved here I quickly learned that any snow storm (from 1/2 an inch to a foot) causes people to run (dare I say sprint) to the nearest grocery store and buy EVERYTHING in sight. I think you had to live through the Blizzard of 78 to 'get' it.
My observations?
People are certifiably crazy when there's a storm. For days ahead of time. Case in point: I do my regular grocery shopping on Friday mornings. I decided to get up early today and go because I knew what the place was going to be like. First of all, the store I shop at is not one that a lot of people go to. It's a bit out of the way so there isn't usually any line at the checkout. Today? Slamming busy. The manager was oblivious. This store's policy is that they bag your groceries and take them out for you. Not so much today. Which is totally fine for me; however, those folks with little ones could still have used the assistance while said manager was twittling his thumbs.

Out in the parking lot? Apparently people cannot park when they can't see the lines. I don't know about you but when I park my SUV I park it SO I CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CRUSHING MYSELF BY HALF MY SIZE AND SLIPPING OUT OF THE CAR!!!! I mean, could you park so I can even slightly open my door and get in the car? Hmmm? Can you?

Driving? My thought would be if you're driving a 1995 Thunderbird with REAR wheel drive and bald tires you might NOT want to run a red light and slam on your brakes, then tailgate those in front of you. I'm guessing that sweet ride also does NOT have anti-lock brakes either. My advice Mr. Old Thunderbird Driver-slow the _____ down because you ARE going to bash into the back of someone and, if it's me, you'll probably be really sorry. You won't see my 'sweet' side that's for sure.
And, you may NOT want to be TEXTING on the highway in this weather either because when you, "Ms. Minivan driver with the screaming kids in the back" are swerving out of your lane while trying to text AND discipline little Johnnie, you may just HIT someone!

Ok-27 days until Spring. I hope to God we all make it because this...is getting ridiculous!
