Virginia Snow Punks New Yorker

I've seen snow in Hampton Roads a couple of times since I've lived here. Usually it's just a light dusting. People freak out and buy barrels of water and freeze-dried astronaut food the day before the 'big snow'. This storm was no exception. I'm sure every Walmart was beyond building capacity.

I didn't shop. Of course I didn't prepare. I'm a New Yorker. I thought, even if the snow does come, it won't be enough to stop my life right. When I woke up there was snow everywhere. By late afternoon, this is what it looked like.
There was nothing I wanted to eat in the house. Av and I both wanted takeout. Pizza Hut said two hours. Domino's said two and a half. That's when I decided the snow would not stop my life. It didn't even look that bad. I went outside to dust off the car. I couldn't even kick the snow aside. My footprints were deep and official.


I couldn't 'dust' the car off either. I had to go back in and get a broom. Anybody on the road in the neighborhood is crawling like a snail. I chuckle. I get out on the main street. It's caked in snow. I'm crawling too now. Even on the expressway...caked.




I thought I would handle a few things since I was already out right. Pssshhht. We made it to two crucial spots...


...Let the Ave man make a couple snowballs...
...and then went straight back home. Errands schmerrands. Virginia snow - 1...yankee girl - zip.
