So, it's looking like Winter Storm Jonas is going to be a doozy. I've seen predictions for everything from 12 inches of snow to 24 inches of snow... but no matter what it's going to be a LOT of snow. The snow can be fun as long as you don't have to try to drive in it, but the bummer part is now it's going to be a blizzard too, which means insane winds. So, that part is NOT fun at all, because with a blizzard you get a lot of tree limbs falling and damage. So, my fingers are crossed that all of our trees behave themselves and stay strong during this storm!
Philly is towards the right-top area of the pink. So this particular forecast is predicting 18-24 inches of snow.
We went shopping on Wednesday night to get supplies, because we wanted to beat the rush. Grocery stores get totally ransacked before big storms, so I've definitely gone too late before and found the shelves completely empty. It's a pretty crazy experience. Years ago when I lived in DC I was out of bread and milk before a big snowstorm, and I went shopping way too late! When I got to the store there was no bread but there were a few packages of hamburger buns left (so that's pretty much bread... it worked just fine for sandwiches), and there was no milk except buttermilk (YUCK) so instead of milk I ended up buying orange juice with added calcium... haha :) It was the best I could do for that storm. But, I learned my lesson, and now I prepare at least a few days in advance for big storms! We have lots of supplies (lots of food, milk, beer, wine, water, etc!), so we're as prepared as we can be for big ol' Jonas.
I did not take this picture, but this is what grocery stores look like right about now!
So, I'll probably post again sometime this weekend (with pictures!) because I'm sure I'll have lots of time... We definitely can't go anywhere this weekend! It'll be a fun weekend though, full of lots of cooking, relaxing, and watching movies. I hope you all have a great weekend!!
