Snowmageddon 2020

Everybody doing okay so far? I have to head to the store for the usual weekly list, but I’m sure panic is setting in with the great unwashed masses. Let me know if you need anything. I’ll put it on Fucking Steve’s credit card.

I'm completely out of gas for the optimist. I've had two drinks, I"m not going to the gas station till tomorrtow morning. It best not snow too hard before 9:00 a.m.

Gotta get that optimist gassed up DWags!!

Meh... they know it’s coming and it’s not freezing rain. It shouldn’t be that bad. At least I hope not. I’ve got a couple hour meeting in AA around 3 tomorrow.

On a Saturday? On a holiday weekend? Fuck that noise.

Only an optimist like DWags would think it won’t already be snowing before 9am.

Had the same conversation with my wife. This isnt freezing rain. There’s no reason to stock up beyond our usual, though we’ll keep our electronics charged. We have a funeral to attend in the morning. It’ll be a lot easier drive than your afternoon venture behind enemy lines.

Hit Zingerman's for a smallish, way-over-priced Reuben while you're there.

Weather says snowing from midnight to noon.

Came down state for the weekend. Am I going to die?

Only if you scoop up some of that green ooze on 696 in Madison Heights.

Down state starts south of 696. You know that. Just like up North starts north of Mio. .

This thing has started. There wasn’t any light snow warmup, it just started dumping on us. More than half an inch in under a. Half hour. Gonna be a lot of sore backs tomorrow.

Please. Downstate is south of 94 and upstate is north of Mackinaw City. Face it. We're 'tweeners.

We got soft. This is just a regular snowstorm that we used to get all the time. Get your shovels out.

My back is already sore, hopefully that gets me a free pass on shoveling.

This is great, no one crowding me at PF.

First round of driveway shovel for the MIL done.

This post is useless.

The excitement stemmed from this being only the second big storm since early November, not counting the ice “storm” from last week.

I'm not gonna count the ice storm either since I was in Florida when it happened.

If I’ve survived the snowfall in city folk land down here then go back home up north Sunday and dig out, do I get credit for two storms?

Pig meet shit

Brag brag brag. Go make some insurance sales calls, Jake.

Raining pretty good here, now. EL is about to become one giant Slurpee.

You have to actually survive the city folk, first. We’re a mean bunch.

And Nordy - love the pup.

LOL. I love watching the clowns with their quads and a blade plowing their front yards. #citylife

I came home around 11:30 this morning and there's some moron with a pickup stuck in my court, rocking it forward and reverse trying to get unstuck. Apparently he only bought a 4x2 pickup because only the rear wheels were spinning.

He must have given it rest waiting for the snow to melt, because he's back it. I can hear the wheels spinning from inside my place. If his tires ever catch he's going to rocket right into one of the condos lol.

Why did you get home at 11:30 A.M. Floyd? Pics of hot babe you were with last night. TIA.

I probably should, there's a nice timeshare I want to buy. You need any insurance against internet stalkers? I can get you a policy for less than a dollar per day.

Quads? You mean those John Deere or Toro mowers weekend warriors slap a blade on in winter? Bob probably has one, but he’s probably the only one in our neighborhood.

It’s one thing to use DWags’ machine, but sniffing it seems like crossing a line, Floyd. And why the heck didn’t you offer to help the bro in distress? You’re only confirming what KL already believes about city folk.

Nothing for me at the moment, thanks. Speaking of stalkers, though, I’ll sell you a couple of hot leads on people feeling the heat at their local gym. Full price upfront, or something smaller but with points on the policies.

I did. He didn't want any help. Too stubborn. Though I doubt I would have been able to push him out myself because he was kind of on an uphill slant. Maybe with on other guy we could have.

What a dummy. Apparently, that guy wasn’t bothered wasting all of his apparently not-too-precious time.

My biggest question is, who the hell buys a 4x2 pickup?
