Let It Snow!

We are bracing ourselves for snow this weekend. Oh boy! I grew up in the Northeast/Midwest. We are a hearty people used to harsh cold winters and getting dumped with Lake Effect snow. For the uninitiated, the Lake Effect occurs when weather systems come down from Canada and pick up extra moisture over the Great Lakes and then they dump it the cities on the other side of the lakes. People in Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo know exactly what I’m talking about.

Basically, we are used to snow. We are used to a lot of snow. So I found it quite funny when I came south of the Mason-Dixon line and saw the frenzy people got whipped into at the suggestion of the possibility of snow.

People bum rush the grocery stores in a mad rush for bread and milk. Milk? Really? What's the bread for?

Here is what I need if I’m going to get snowed in.

Wine – I’m in the house. I’m not going to be driving anywhere. So, I have a few glasses of Moscato or Chenin Blanc. Big Deal?

Coke – Because I can’t drink wine first thing in the morning. Sure, most people want water, but this is my personal snow day and I want Coke!

Lucky Charms – I love Lucky Charms! So if I’m going to be stuck in the house, I will need to have a few bowls.

Cookie Dough/Brownie Mix – Nothing says snowy day quite like some hot fudgy brownies or Tollhouse cookies straight from the oven.

Milk – Now the milk makes sense, doesn’t it?

So while other people are home with their water and milk and bread, I’ll be drunk with a serious sugar high.
