Sometimes I think I’d be happy on a few hundred acres in the Dakotas or Wyoming, provided I was financially secure enough to avoid forced interaction with the world when the winter was severe.
You know, I think I probably always have those thoughts in the warmer months.
I find “highs in the lower 20s” an offensive phrase. I’m cold now. I don’t like hearing that worse is coming. But, they’re beginning to pile on with the snow forecast on Thursday. I suppose there’s some potential novelty there. We’ll see.
(You know, we’re having company that night. There’s, um, a football game.)

Cheezus. I completely overlooked the Thurday night forecast’s connection with gameday. I better up my rabid bread-shopping trip by 24 hours to make sure there’s plenty of chips left on the shelves.
I was at the grocery yesterday for lasagna fixin’s and the bread/milk shelves were already looking a little sparse, but the chip aisle was packed to the gills.
Mrs. BD has forseen it as a reason to keep bleary-eyed kids out of school. I’m thinking the principal being an alum, he might be quick on the trigger Fri morning.
Should we bring sleeping bags? 🙂
It’s coming…MUSCHAMP FEARS SABAN!
Dude. It’s global warming, donjakno. This “cold” you speak of is all just a manifestation of your imagination. Probably triggered by all those right-wing denying extremists.
If it was up to the principal, I bet you’d be right. I think the cancellation of school has to come from the superintendent, though. I think he was formerly a principal in the Tuscaloosa area. So, we may still be in luck.
I’ll make sure we have the makings for pancakes for breakfast on hand. You might have to bring your own milk and bread, though. I’m afraid the run on the grocery stores may have already started.
I’m having my doubts anything significant’s going to hit us. I’m expecting insufficient simultaneity of moisture and temperature.
And as I’ve said, thank God for global warming. Think how bad it COULD be right now….
My shopping list for potential severe weather:
toilet paper, beer, peanut butter, bread, Maker’s Mark, Dt. Pepsi.
I bought hot chocolate and scone making supplies. Who needs bread for 1 day of light snow? ha ha ha
