Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[saxgoddess25]

I saw so many idiots in Virginia Beach in the 14 years I was there. We had 3 inches of ice one year and it just went insane. I was living on base so of course I was constantly working because I could walk and morons couldn't make it in.

It was nice for me when it snowed because they would always close the ports and that meant I didn't have to go to work.

I started life in snow out here the people roll up the streets and wave a white flag .. first running tractors was fun, no issue go slow no breaks faster and warmer than walking

We had gravel trucks that would follow the plows in the Hermiston area. Gravel is awesome to stop skidding.

I saw a few flakes in Poulsbo this afternoon.

I saw a few flakes in Poulsbo this afternoon.

3 flakes fell on me while I was shoveling! The apocalypse is coming!

(I did end up going to the grocery store late last night, so now we're set until around Feb 20 or so.)

I’m still hoping it goes to California or Alaska!!! Glad you got your supplies!

We always carry chains.

I wish people would wrap their stupid brains around the fact that 4 wheel or all wheel DRIVE doesn't mean you have 4 or all wheel STOP and increase following distance. We do tend to see them and their pickups in the ditches around here.

We just did a month of meats and such at Costco like 3 days ago

We actually have enough stored to have no real change in diet for 2 months. Beyond that, there isn't enough canned milk for normal and it goes to powdered milk for another couple months.

We'd miss fresh milk, cheese, and veggies. I'll have outdoor storage for potatoes and onions next year.

I rely on fresh veggies too much to go more than 2 weeks between trips. Meat we're pretty well stocked on, the freezer has plenty. Basics like pasta, beans, flour, etc are in good supply too. I literally have enough dried noodles for about 2 months haha.

If this was summer and my garden was in full production this would be no issue. Then again, snow would be no issue in summer too.
