Snowpocalypse!
Evidently, it’s going to snow this weekend. Not just a little, annoying snowfall. Nope, we’re expecting a Snowpocalypse with 18-to-24 inches predicted.
Normally, I don’t have a lot of faith in the weathermen of the world, but this storm seems to be right on track, and all computer models are agreeing. Since my car doesn’t move in the snow (seriously, it just sits there with wheels spinning. And where the fuck was all of this snow for the last two years when I drove a freaking Tahoe? </rant>), I won’t be going anywhere once it starts.
So, the question is, am I absolutely insane even to be considering going to the grocery store after work today? Probably, but I’m gonna do it. If I don’t make it out alive, thanks for the good times!

Oh I love that map. WTH is “disruptive” snowfall anyway?! Geez. In Chicago anything over 1/4″ is disruptive because people freak out and forget how to walk, drive, run trains, etc. Ya’d think we never had snow before
Good luck in your quest for groceries. Tweet if you need a search party!
Grumble.
They’re only calling for 4-8 inches here.
Grumble.
Good luck, with whatever amount falls in mind or spirit or real life.
Yeah, we’re in for the 18-24 too. I stopped at the store yesterday because I was legitmately out of milk and bread…There were only about 2 things of milk left but they were restocking…Good luck with that
Hi Shannon! (I’m a new follower/commenter to your blog!) I didn’t realize you were in Northern, VA too! Good luck in all the nonsense…I hear the grocery stores are madness! Take care and be safe!
Thanks for reading, Lindsay! I’m actually in Maryland – not far from Baltimore.
I’m in NOVA and just want to note they are predicting record snowfalls of 20-30 inches perhaps rivaling the famous knickerbocker storm of ’22, I may actually have to get my winter coat out and shovel the darn driveway. Having spent some years in New Hampshire with over five feet of snow on the ground, I find the whole thing kinda amusing. I feel really bad for my poor dog, a Dachshund, who can only look at the huge piles of snow and look around in disgust at having to go in the middle of the only area he can reach, the middle of the driveay.
