We are about to have another significant snowstorm right on the heels of one that will go down in our weather record books as having been one of the worst the northeast has ever seen in some areas.
Please don't be alarmed. There really is no need to drive to every grocery store in the region and hoard all the bread and milk that can fill a grocery cart. Let's examine why this is not necessary.
1. We do not live in the mountains of the western states where snowfalls are the heaviest in the Nation; nor do we live in Wyoming, which is the least populated in the Nation and where one might have problems finding even a Wawa. These factors might make it difficult to get that coveted bread and milk; however, I'm quite certain that our hardy western neighbors know how to be prepared but let's move on.
2. We live in the Northeast - the most densely populated region of the United States. If you happen to live in New Jersey, then you have the dubious honor of living in the most densely populated State in the Nation. That said, we can all be assured: a) that the roads will be cleared and passable within less than 24 hours and, b) that there will be a bountiful supply of food for all.
3. During the brunt of the storm, please do not drive unless your (or someone else's) life depends on it. If you feel you must take that freshly baked batch of cookies to Aunt Martha and get stuck in a ditch along the way, then a First Responder must take their time away from a real emergency to help pull you and Aunt Martha's cookies out of the ditch. Check on Aunt Martha before the storm; then, give her a call during. OK?
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
