Did you know that AccuWeather has a dedicated "bloopers and outtakes" section? I had no idea! Oh, also, there will be some snow. But the arthritis index is low, so I guess it's not all terrible.

Oh Alex. Why must you hurt mathnet with your tags?
Is this where I talk about how I spent an hour and a half WAITING ON LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE LAST NIGHT? Because, um, that happened.
Oh, man, I totally steer clear of the grocery when all the PANIC SHOPPING starts.
PANIC SHOPPING is how you stair most directly into the Soul of Man, though. I saw a woman in line at the Giant yesterday (which I promptly walked out of, empty handed) with but a pillowcase of Totino's Pizza Rolls and a cube of Bud Light in her cart. Real America.
*stare, sorry I'm PANICKED.
OOOOH RIGHT. Panic shopping! That's why fucking Trader Joe's had a line out to the shopping carts at 3pm yesterday afternoon. (Walked in and out, I just wanted some God damned dried blueberries. Huff huff.)
I had planned to do my shopping on thursday ALL WEEK. I was into panic shopping way before the rest of those assholes who took all the diet A&W cream soda. God.
perhaps i should bring a book along to my paper-towel-replenishment run then.
Always.
Definitely bring a book, perhaps an anthology.
Stop using paper towels!
@formerly it takes...: Seriously. I mop up all my spills with cloth diapers now.
Stay calm, shelter in place, and if nothing else GODSSAKES, MAN, DO NOT USE THE EDIT "FUNCTION."
@ Matt: Or "REPLY!"
Yes! Bum Genius!
Fairway was surprisingly empty last night. Did you know if you time it right, you can get buy one get one free rotisserie chickens along with two free deli side dishes?
Details please.
What kills me is how the bread aisle goes suddenly barren, 'cause everyone is buying a dozen loaves of bread. Like, you're going to be stuck at home for maybe two days. How many goddamn sandwiches are you actually going to eat?
Regis Philbin doesn't believe that snowstorm will hit NY, so I don't either.
Thanks for covering the news of Delaware. THIS STORM IS NOT ABOUT ME.
Careful, sir. You would not be the first to rue putting too much faith in the distribution of the various hues found in the weather forecast.
(Sorry, I've been watching the John Adams miniseries and it makes me say "sir" and otherwise talk funny.)
You hurt Delaware with your disdain.
This has been such a mild winter so people's frame of reference is skewed. 3"? A stream of warm piss would melt that.
Possibly true in NY, but apparently DC is getting "a minimum of 20 inches". And this city shuts. the fuck. DOWN. when we get any weather at all.
From the looks of that picture there is also a 100% chance of male pattern baldness with a 50% chance of a comb-over.
IT IS SNOWING IN DC. REPEAT: IT IS SNOWING IN DC.
THANK GOD YOU SHOPPED.
I KNOW RIGHT.
Note: This is all part of my secret plan to turn The Awl into my own personal blog. I think the weather is giving me an opportunity to make good headway.
You know who else is getting 12 to 24 this weekend?
Your dear old mother -- that's right!
