In Like a Lion

March is coming in like a lion.

The weather service is doing a terrific job of talking up the perfect storm.

It seems snow is converging on us from two fronts and our area is to get up to eight inches of the white stuff.

You need to understand that with significant snow a rarity in lower Delaware, the potential impact of eight inches would be like Vermont getting eight feet of snow.

So of course everyone is racing to the grocery store.

I could never figure that knee jerk reaction out. Does anyone really need twelve loaves of bread and ten gallons of milk while waiting for the snowplows to clear the roads?

Of course not. The requirements are a case of beer, a bottle of hard stuff, and jumbo container of nuts - which is why I headed for the liquor store.
