I am not getting eggs, milk, and bread, and you CAN'T MAKE ME.



Also, where is Aput these days? I need to have a word with him.

[Trivial]

I always assumed it was milk sandwiches.

[Richter]

I bought canned goods.

They are high calorie for superior artctic survival, more shelf stable than baked goods or dairy, and can be thrown or swung as melee weapons in a pinch.

I'm pretty sure Navyguy bought for the zombie apocalypse, should it happen in the snow. A lot of frozen food...why? Power goes out, they're going out on the fire escape.

[AFK]

Okay, now I'm pissed about the storm AND hungry for some goddamned french toast!

[Suu]

I'm pissed that no one seems to know what exactly is coming other than snow.

The forecast?

2-24" for Providence.

Yep. Fuck you, February. Do your worst. I know this is all winter has left. In 3 weeks, the crocuses will be up.

[AFK]

In Maine it is 12"-24".  Starting Thursday night.  My plane flies into Portland late Thursday night, which means there is a decent shot I'm sleeping on a bench at DCA Thursday night. 

[Suu]

That's how I know they're talking out of their ass.

1: Maine always gets more than Rhode Island. Simple geography shows you that.
2: Ridiculous ranges of numbers.
3: I've heard Friday, not Thursday.

[Suu]

As of right now, they're saying Providence is on the 6-12"/3-6" line on the Weather Channel.
NOAA says 1-2' "possible".
The local news says we're all going to be snowed in for 2 weeks like in 1978 and all freeze to death.

My bet is on 8" in Providence. 16" in Boston. 24" in Worcester. 4" on the Cape.

Those are my numbahs.

[Luna]

Honestly, you'd think the fucking world was ending. 

[tyrannosaurus vex]

You think you have it bad? Look at this shit:


It's like nature has absolutely no personality at all.

Don't you know?

It's the anniversary of 1978, therefore, we are all going to die.

Then again, knowing Providence's competence for snow removal, we might....but I've seen worse. I was stuck here in 2003 for that bullshit visiting Herbert for the weekend, and it was my first winter since I was 4. Ever use a snowblower on a 45* incline driveway? Woof. Once we successfully flagged down a bulldozer to get enough snow out of the way to get the cars out, it froze...over the de-ice. It was a slip-n-die right into a road the senators screamed up from 146 to cut through to the Statehouse. Pulling 60mph, uphill to Douglas Ave. Piece of shit. I almost got run over by Patrick Kennedy twice.

2005 was also terrible. I could not walk safely from Orms St to Providence Place for work, so I had to take the bus. (I'm talking about the snow, here, not the ghetto.) There were walls of the stuff on the sidewalks. The bus would pass me at the stop, because I couldn't stand where I "had to stand to get picked up."

In 2011 when I lived over in Elmwood before moving back to the Hill, the bus stop was gone for the entire month of January, and I would have to get off the bus at JWU on Weybosset and walk over to Westminster. A block, right? A block that Providence neglected until the universities said, 'FUCKING CLEAN THIS SHIT UP.' JWU had spotless sidewalks, and the entire street was a mess. They paid for a cop to do detail rather than just getting plows and bulldozers out.

Kennedy Plaza was totally clear though...Dicks.


...I'm pretty sure I know why I hate snow so much, now. Because I kinda liked it the 2 years I was in Gansett.

[LMNO]

I got some wine, artisanal cheese, some charcuterie, chips and salsa, ice cream, cookie dough, and pizza rolls.

The only thing I'm genuinely nervous about is URI not cancelling classes tomorrow, and the big slam hitting during my Latin class, and me, being stranded in South County unless they keep the RIPTA buses moving. Which they sometimes do. I mean, they did during the hurricane, even though all the Dunkins in the state closed.

But, my house is stocked. We were going to hit the brew store tonight for supplies to keep us busy tomorrow, IF it doesn't hit tonight while Navyguy is driving up here. On the bright side, if he gets stuck with me, he has almost 3 months of accumulated leave to burn that he loses if he doesn't use, so he just gives them a call.
