White Death 3

(Virginia) Gov. Bob McDonnell has declared a state of emergency for southern Virginia due to an approaching winter storm.

Inches, actual inches, are possible.

(Yeah, I know, areas that aren’t used to snow aren’t prepared to handle it and shouldn’t be expected to. There is no good reason to stock up on trucks and salt every year for something that happens only every few years or so.

At the same time, this “declaring states of emergency” stuff before there is an emergency seems to be a little silly.)

Afterthought:

Must. Buy. Bread. and. Milk.

    So is the Virginia National Guard standing around with snow shovels in hand waiting for the first snowflake to fall?

    Declaring a state of emergency before there is an emergency is like taking the “morning after” pill the morning before.
