Waiting for Snow
Another snow storm has been forecast for Monday in our neck of the woods. Living in the country, I find it so amusing watching people react to the weathermans words 'more snow on Monday'. Driving down any road, 3/4 of the vehicles are RV's with 4 wheel drive, yet the grocery stores aisles are jammed with people piling milk, bread and popcorn into their carts in case they get snowed in. They could save untold thousands of dollars on those cars if they ever thought about how ridiculous this behavior is. In south-central Pa. the longest I have been snowed in my whole life is 24 hours. The roads are always cleared and usable in 12 hours maximum, but fear of starvation runs deep in the Pa. Dutch heart. What if we couldn't get to the store? All of America is on a diet, but let it call for snow and they are all in survivor mode. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. I see women in jogging suits and men in sweats, ultimate atheletes, panicking about a dozen eggs and butter. Things they think will kill them on a sunny day. Snow cancels out cholesteral! Wouldn't it be great if all you had to do was change climates to clear up hardening of the arteries. A trip to Vermont would help unclog your heart!

Here in Tornado Alley, when the sirens go off (because a tornado has touched down somewhere), most people go out in their front yards to see if they can spot it...um...I only know this because I go outside to see if everyone else is outside. Yeah, that's it. :D
When we get snow here, sometimes we really are stuck because it usually only snows once a year, so there are no plows. When I lived in Kansas, it was amazing to me how quickly one could get out and about after a snowfall.
