they don't occur w/the frequency of snow storms. the overwhelming majority of them happen w/o anyone feeling them. they're not anything about which to worry.
but they keep ppl from wanting to move out there which is good b/c otherwise the joint would be ridiculously overcrowded. if ppl really knew how awesome Southern California is...for real...it'd be as crowded as Mexico City or Tokyo.

is getting one of the two storms that'll hit the East Coast late Monday night /early Tuesday morning. One storm from the midwest merging with another from the southern east coast.
Fun times.

there are areas that are definitely getting gentrified. Richmond seems about the same to me as it always has the past 15 years or so.
VCU is ever expanding, so that's been a difference downtown. i try and stay away from the increasing suburban sprawl happening in the surrounding counties, but it's definitely happening. the food scene continues to be pretty great. i dunno, i dig it here.

Probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to variety at an affordable price.
I remember an article in NYC about tr locals who had to transfer to Richmond for a job and how amazed they were at the number of Indian spots in Richmond.

Wasn't even thinking about the snow storm tomorrow. That damn coop is gonna be a madhouse. I do have some stuff in the crib already (snacks, pasta, fruit, veggies) but I wanted to get a few more things. If it's looking nuts I'm making a Grandpa Simpson U turn.
you better just go to a regular store or Fairway? LOL!

..the meteorologist in this area are often wrong, but this storm looks legit.
that said, i stay ready.
>thank God my fridge stays decked
check.
>i think we have salt from the last time
check.
>but that isnt my concern cuz i dont shovel
lol... poor hubs.
>i do have hot chocolate and snacks on deck for those who do >LOL
and THIS is why you rock! everybody has to do their part.
part of me thinks we won't get much, but the last time i doubted we ended up with more than a foot of snow in less than 8 hrs. still, this would only be the 2nd major snowfall of the winter. i'll take that.
15. "LOL i'll do my part for sure" In response to Reply # 7
gonna even head to the store before the masses hopefully to get some missing ingredients for nachos tomorrow
>part of me thinks we won't get much, but the last time i >doubted we ended up with more than a foot of snow in less than >8 hrs. still, this would only be the 2nd major snowfall of the >winter. i'll take that.
i mean i hope it's not much but like u said abt the last one...im thinking it might be something this winter was awesome though so i cant even complain!

2 days later they ain't touched none of that shit they bought.
Beer and meat. That's my shopping list for snow.

29. "my flight to ny was cancelled." In response to Reply # 24
Piece of shit American refunded my money today even though I asked two days ago just to have a credit to rebook. It took me three phone calls to accomplish this 10 minute feat.
41. "yea they initially offered to change the date." In response to Reply # 32
It made no sense for me to do that cause whats the purpose in traveling to a city thats going to be shut down for the duration of my trip? I just wanted to move the date of the trip entirely.
33. "more importantly: what's on the menu?.." In response to Reply # 0
..that goes for food, drink, & entertainment.
i'm currently considering another batch of chili (perfect time to use the slow cooker, while out clearing the block). plenty of bourbon/rye on deck for ol' fashioned & hot toddies.
too many tv/film titles to really name, but i need to catch up on legion, and finally check out a few slept on films like chronic or wolves.
38. "I'm making thai chicken fried rice tonight" In response to Reply # 33
Those leftovers will be tomorrow's lunch. I always keep popcorn kernels in the crib so I'm good on the snack front. A few of my favorite Japanese snacks too for something sweet if I'm so inclined.
Entertainment wise, it's Zelda on the Switch all day (except during the time that I'm working from home *ahem* of course).

..people panic about a possible foot of snow like its gonna snow forever lol.
just saw some wild disrespectful people complaining about long lines, gentrification, & people waiting 'til the last minute to shop (how can you complain when you're doing the same thing?).
regular shopping trip for me. i was in & out without hassle. in line for no more than 10 minutes.
42. "The butcher was a shitshow yesterday." In response to Reply # 0
Not the supermarket. The butcher. Everyone had the same idea -- braising, roasting, etc.
I decided to finally make some chicken stock so did that. Am practicing knife work on a steak tartare, and made some Thai Golden Bags for lunch. Braised oxtails for dinner, I think.

46. "all that fuss for less than a foot of snow..." In response to Reply # 0
..lol.
fortunate to get less than 5 inches in bedstuy. granted, the snow/sleet/ice mix made for some heavy lifting, but the city should be on pace in a few hours.
it's going to take some time for the slush/ice to melt to the point it's thoroughly safe to bike in the streets without getting in the way of cars on the road though. The fact sleet fell during the storm made things very interesting for folks that waited until this morning to try and drive away from their parking spots instead of clearing the way last night.
This has been an interesting winter. And I think it's supposed to snow a little bit towards the end of the week.

RE: The ice was really thick everywhere, for folks that didn't bother to shovel/salt until this morning. Especially true since sleet fell roughly in the middle of the storm yesterday, which added a good deal of heft and weight to whatever unshoveled/unsalted mess that was left to be dealt with this morning for the lazy folks.

50. "every time it snows, it's crazy to me who i see & dont see out shoveling" In response to Reply # 0
i see women out there and i KNOW they got able-bodied men in the house.
then there's the old guy that i always send back in the house when i see him shoveling. he's 2 scoops away from a heart attack. crazy part is that he has grown sons & son-in-laws (or is it sons-in-law) that live less than 30 minutes away and they never help. well, hardly ever. they did help during snowmageddon.
i don't see kids walking around offering to shovel for a few dollars. there's money to be had. people would gladly ante up to avoid going out there. but around my way, them youngins ain't interested.
and then you got the half assers that don't remove all the snow from their cars. fools clear a small part of the windshield & the back window and maybe the two front windows and they out.
