never found it a bad thing to be prepared for eventualities
for it seems they eventually come around
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Let's see...do I believe DC Metro weather forecasters and anticipate my trial on Tuesday will be postponed or do I still prepare as if we're going forward?
I think I'll prepare.

Most of the U.S. I live in Mississippi and more years than not we won't have any snow. It's a pretty rare year that we get more than one snowfall that sticks for more than a couple of hours.

I think I'll prepare. What are you on trial for, Bob?

It is important to figure out how much milk and bread you would normally consume in a week; then go out and purchase three times that amount. (If the week's expected use is 0, you should use 2 as your base number, just to be on the safe side.)
And be sure and tether your elephants.

I just heard that it could be the worst blizzard ever recorded in NYC.
Couple of feet of snow from NY to Boston?
That would absolutely suck for travel/work.
Rogue, what is the storm warning detail for your area?

I've been stuck in some of those NYC 2-3 feet blizzards and they do suck. In the city, there's no place to put the snow. They have to haul it out in dumpsters and drop it in the rivers.
Wegman's Grocery in Virginia was like lunch at the ant farm today and there's really no snow forecast for this area. I'm hauling to SC tomorrow!!
