Snow: The Fluffy Stuff

Niceguy · 02-10-2010, 02:20 AM

I didn't realize that bananas were on the list of groceries that people ran to the store to buy just before it snowed here! I still don't completely understand the milk, eggs, & bread thing... but bananas?

So we get another round of ice/snow late Sunday night/early Monday morning. I was prepared and had plenty of groceries, but there's something about knowing I can't just hop in the truck and go to the store if I want something that makes me want everything that I don't have! Even if I have 100 different food options in the house, I'm gonna want the things that I don't have!

Finally around 10pm Monday night (less than 24 hours being iced/snowed in) I put on my coat, hat, gloves, and hiking boots and take off walking! The Kroger isn't that far from my house, but the foot of really wet snow made for a fun hike! I get to the store and they are completely out of bananas! I've never seen them be completely out of bananas! They usually have a HUGE stand of bananas! And they even had milk, eggs, and bread left! I ended up with three bags of other stuff, but no bananas!

certain aspects of it are so lovely-

misted ghostly swirls and dervishes on the lane .

snow-twisters alive in silent fields .

Having not had a really good snow in many years, I was very excited about it. The first time... this is round three or four now and I am pretty much OVER IT!

We haven't lost power yet this week and for that I am beyond grateful. The storm that was supposed to come through here yesterday by passed us, staying a tad south. Today we have winds from hell!

The girl got some snow up in Richmond and I am hoping it clears up before I drive up to see her this weekend. We have plans to go out dammit!

Hope everyone is staying warm!

Sends nanners to Niceguy! that does suck man! LOL
