Whenever someone talks about snow readiness, I'm reminded of a story in the local paper about 15 years ago. Snow was forecast, and this area goes to pooh when it rains, you can imagine snow.

On the front page of the local paper were two gentlemen who had gotten ready for the snow event. They had a case of beer, a couple/three bags of chips and two packs of cigarettes. They were ready they stated.

And don't you know, they are forecasting rain/snow/ice for this region. I think I'll avoid the panic crowd by staying home and sipping some hot chocolate.
