It is actually scary to see how grocery stores are cleaned out. Snow shovels sold out? Do you throw them away every year? WTH?? As if they won’t survive till Tuesday. Did the jabs or living through the lockdown damage their brains?

As a Vermonter, I am amused. Winter and it's weather does not stop us, if the school buses can do the backroads to pick up all the kiddos, in -10 degrees and a foot of snow on the ground, any area can follow. There is not much anyone can do about ice, except stay off f it, 4 wheel drive does nothing on ice. So you sand, you sand a lot, mix it with salt, the trucks are out before it freezes.Our local forecasters have jumped on the media wagon these past few years though. Storm warnings for 6 inches are a joke up here, it isn't a storm, it's just snowing. I understand that southerners are not used to it, but it is hardly the end of the world. If it's glare ice, do not drive, period. If it's snow, give yourself time to brake, go slow, keep your tires straight, dont jerk the wheel you will spin. Do not dress for the office, wear a hat and sensible boots, wear pants if you are a lady who wears dresses, long underwear helps, you can bring your dress clothing with you and change at work. People die of exposure in their cars because they are not dressed for the weather and get stuck. Keep those emergency blankets with you, carry a thermos of hot beverages. Be prepared.
