Hear the snow crunch...

I don't know if kids are bunching, but the snow is certainly crunching, and falling steadily.

This storm is supposed to drop about 4-8 inches on Cowtown, as well as a lot of freezing rain and ice. I don't mind snow at all, but the freezing rain I could do without. That is something I really forgot about whilst living in Wisconsin for 7 years--it doesn't snow much here compared to WI, but there is a lot of icy weather. Bleah.

We've been seeing the Winter Storm Warnings on TV since Sunday afternoon--and panic has duly ensued. At the grocery store this afternoon, you'd have thought the dates for the apocalypse had been announced. People were running, and shoving, and grabbing for loaves of bread, containers of milk and snow shovels. I'm guessing when they got home they were breaking up the dining room set for kindling and making flow charts about who gets eaten first when the food supplies run out.

Yeesh. 4-8 inches of snow. Maximum 14 inches. This isn't upstate New York, people.

Yeah, I could live without the ice storms too. Am also hoping for a spring/summer with fewer hailstorms than we had last year. Those of us with no garages are not fans of hailstorms. Although I do enjoy watching my neighbors' cars get hit (yes, I am a bad person), since they have a two-car garage so full of crap they can't park either of their cars in it, which just seems the height of "duh" to me.
