Panic in the South

[piperdbh]

I think that part of the reason people go out and buy the "essentials" when snow is forecast is that we used to have this thing called Winter, when an icy substance called Snow when descend from the heavens and blanket the countryside, where it would stay for several days. One winter in the mid-1950's, there was snow every Wednesday for 6 weeks, which would close school. It took forever to make up the time.
Now, however, due to various causes, we no longer have Winter. Instead we have subdivisions, and their homeowners' associations won't allow snow, due to legal constraints and the cost of cleanup.

A former neighbor once called her husband at work, informing him of the impending snowstorm, and instructing him to bring home Mt. Dew and Reese's cups.
