Where I live in the US, every time they call for snow, everyone rushes to the grocery store to stock up on milk, bread, and eggs. It's as if everyone is planning a French toast party. And we average 18 inches of snowfall per year, so calling for light snow is not an unusual event.
I personally believe the grocers' association is tied in with the weather forecast station to help out in months where it looks like they aren't going to make their budget.
I am laughing at French toast party hehe, it's like that here. Fisticuffs in the shops over loaves!! It will be the grocers association, they will be the snow Mafia!
If you mess with the grocers' snow Mafia, you'll end up buried in a snow drift, and no one will find your body until... the next day when all the snow from the blizzard melts.
That's right your body all frozen and stiff with a baguette stuffed in your mouth :0D
Like the apple in a pig's mouth at a Hawaiian luau. Meant to send a message to the immigrants from warm weather climates who are attempting to destroy these cataclysmic weather phenomena by spraying their aerosol cans outside, creating their own cone of ozone breaching, UV infused sunshine.
(Sorry, it's Friday afternoon before a Holiday weekend, and I'm still at work getting "punchy").
Lol, I hope you finish soon then :OD
