Looks like we are getting a tiny dusting of snow overnight... you can feel the panic setting in, even though it's 58F outside right now.
I always wonder how people handle their first winter here that move up north from the south. We're due to get rain turning into snow overnight, which means a layer of ice under the snow. Less than 3" of snow, barely worth noticing.

@WrCombs I figured after all of the long conversations on here you'd feel that you're required to quit for the well-being of this communities blood pressure.

Better run and go get your milk and bread.

Nothing quite like milk sandwiches when you're snowed in.

@RojoLoco do I want to know what a milk sandwich is?

It's the tradition of people in the south to freak out and buy all the milk and bread before a snow flurry. Not sure why just those 2 items. I just made up milk sandwiches, but I might make some liquorball sandwiches if it snows much...

Because if there are two things not good for surviving on, those are them.
Both perish quickly and provide nominal dietary value.

Yeah I would think eggs are a much better thing to stockpile.

For sure. Way more nutrition, last much longer.

Even better, peanut butter. So many calories.

Get the kind with no added sugar. That's the best.
Peanuts themselves are actually one of the very best things for you you eat, so long as you're not mixing each bite with a spoon full of sugar.

Peanut butter, canned tuna, refried black beans, and water would be my go-to in a year long super blizzard (among other things of course). All of them require no heat to eat, and last a long time.

If you have cooking ability, pasta is magic. It lasts forever.

Yeah, that'd be nice!

I have a gas stove and outdoor grill, so I can cook when the power is out.

My gas stove is modern and has "safety features"... Can't use it without power.
I do have a wood burning stove though. Those are fun to cook on.

I love cooking on a wood stove. And my gas stove is pretty new, but you can absolutely light it without power, we tested it when the tropical storm blew through last year.

Ours has a lock mechanism that trips when the power goes out. I don't know if it trips before or after, but I do know that I have to push a couple of buttons to make it happy afterwards.

Back to work post illness. Time to delete E-mails.
