We are getting White Death coverage here, too. About Flagstaff, about 3 hours north of us. It's pretty funny, although they did get eight inches yesterday.

I'm gonna try and go to bed now.
Wish me luck. Good night!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yay omnis' voicemail! Let me know if you'll ever want messages in Hebrew on it.That would be awesome! Especially since we are doing a show on the book of Genesis right now, and have all these religious advisers around. I could go "Hey Rabbi, can you translate this for me?" So the steamier the better! ;) j/k. would hate to see that long distance bill from Israel to USA.

good luck Shir! Sleep tight. Use the baseball bat on others as needed (or at least the phone).

What's White Death, besides snow in literature?
White death was also used to refer to tuberculosis.

I'd totally do so. I have an aunt in Arizona: it ain't that expensive, if I'm doing it from the phone line at my parents.
Now, if I could only remember where the Bible is stashed in their house...

HeY! aren't you supposed to be in bed??? (gawd I feel like a mother hen, pointing to your bedroom).

People also mob the grocery stores to buy bread and milk.
I really don't get the milk, as it has a seriosly short shelf life (and nassssty death throes) without proper refrigeration. If the power goes out, your making cheese whether you want to or not.

Ann, that's a ferret.
BTW, very few snowfalls in my lifetime have been heavy enough to keep people in their homes for more than 24 hours.
Much depends on where you live. If you're reasonably urban, or even suburban, and slightly adventurous, it's amazing what's in walking distance even if the plows haven't gotten through yet. When you live in the rural North, and the nearest anything is five miles away on the roads that the plows get to last, it happens at least once during most winters.

Omnis just ordered Shir to the bedroom. Heh heh heh.

I know my family can't be the only one to store milk on the porch in snowy weather.
The seven months I was forced to live with my mother and her second husband after college and before I moved to Arizona, I used to stash various foodstuffs in between the glass panes in the double-hung window in my bedroom so I wouldn't have to face the (now, thank Jebus, former) stepfather any more than necessary.
ETA: Well, I only did that in the winter. No use letting good Bailey's go bad just for pride.
