12. I used to have a supervisor who was from North Carolina.

When we asked him how he liked winters in the north, be said he'd take the snow any day over the damp chill and ice storms in NC. I imagine it's the same in TN.

I just returned from a grocery store. It was crowded, but due to Christmas and not the storm. I couldn't believe the denial that I overheard in people's conversations. They said that Buffalo would get the storm, not us, and that Buffalo is used to it. It's true that, although we're near Buffalo, we usually miss the worst of these storms. But this is widespread and we will get the flash freeze and some high winds. They don't seem to understand the nature of this storm.

I have one more stop today, to the drugstore to refill a med.

Then I'm staying inside.

Close, but no cigar. mahatmakanejeeves Dec 2022 #1
