The Pitters' Place

It's always bread & milk. Toilet paper & water too. Two of those make sense. The other two do not.

If I'm stocking up in case the power goes out,I'm buying water, boxed pasta/ramen cups, canned goods, and other nonperishable items. I have camping stoves for boiling water for the noodles

I guess people are more concerned with getting snowed in than what will happen if they get snowed in AND the power goes out.

Well, I live in the Boston area, so everyone responds strongly but appropriately. People do grab milk, bread and eggs but water is also purchased in droves. My lady and I just stocked up on some foods. Luckily, my area is rather...affluent, so power outages are usually taken care of pretty quickly.
Surprisingly, it hasn't been too bad this time around, but we're not supposed to get the brunt of the storm.

We freak the fuck out in the UK, both in the anxious way and the excited way. We almost never get snow in Cornwall, it's been at least five years since I saw any. The UK is not equipped to deal with snow and it always shows.

Apparently North Carolina just declared a state of emergency.

Yeah, the UK never bothers spending any money to prepare for snow, because it's so rare that we actually get hit by any kind of snow storm. the problem this creates, however, is that as soon as we get a centimetre of snow, the country's fucked.

although at this point in time, we're more likely to be hit by floods than anything else. i'm pretty sure England is sinking.

Oh, you all wish you had inbred fishpeople gills now, don't you?

We are getting 2 feet of snow tomorrow so we bought a whole bunch of milk and a lactating cow.

Your kind will be the first ones we eat when turning to cannibalism. it's gonna be 'cannibalism lite' on account of how you're mostly fish meat anyway.

With a healthy dose of skepticism.

It has never snowed here ever, snows on the mountains but down where the peoples live - just doesn't happen so I imagine if it did happen, it would cause quite a lot of excitement

Set our alarms earlier to account for the extra time it will take to dig our cars out and drive behind non-locals on our way to work.

So apparently my area's schools are closed...through Sunday.

It never snows here in the valley, but people love to go up to the mountains near Tahoe to ski and whatnot.

Snow is a way of life in my neck of the woods. There has be 10 foot drifts on the roads before anyone considers staying in. My work has closed exactly once in the 70 years it's been around. That was just a few weeks ago when we got snow and then some melted and then refroze only to be covered by more snow so the roads were beyond treacherous.

I grumbled and said, "I hope not." My hope failed.
