Blizzard Warning

They're saying 12-18" before it winds down tomorrow night. 

I was out and about earlier today.  Sunday, day after Christmas... it was dead.  Very little traffic; only a few people in the grocery stores.

There's a weather advisory for a foot and a half of snow, 50-knot winds, and zero visibility, and no one is out stocking up on anything.  They've already got it.  Water, check.  Food, check.  Safety lanterns, emergency radio, auxiliary heat source:  check, check, check.

Some would call this endemic pessimism.  Perhaps.  But it seems wise to me.  Expect the worst - and you are both unlikely to be disappointed, and more likely than your sunny counterpart to be pleasantly surprised. 

We will take this storm in stride.  And it too shall pass.
