And it begins

So here it begins.  4:30pm and the flurries have started.  I'm not sure what this next storm will bring but I'm not looking forward to it.  I trekked into the office via a doctor's appointment.  The plows and the shoveling had finally made progress.  While the sidewalks were passable, the street intersections, not so much.  In the 3 hours I was at work, the street fairies (not sure if that is the appropriate term) had gone through streets and created intersection mazes or walkways onto the street.

Now if this storm truly dumps 7-14 inches then we are back to where we were on Sunday, in a extreme weather situation of historic proportions, which means we are SCREWED.  Seriously, it could be Friday or even Tuesday before we have to go back to work. 

Fortunately, I walked to the little store the half a block up the street from my apartment and stocked up on the few things I have had cravings for.  And you know when you know you can't have something you just start jonesing for it, i.e. the itch that has to be scratched. 

So here is my pathetic list of items I bought:
2- small containers of Ben & Jerry's ice cream
1-container of Pringles; pizza flavor
1-dozen eggs; want to make banana bread and only have Egg Beaters
1-2 liter of Diet Coke
1-6 pack of bottled Bud Light

This list is reminiscent of past hurricane preparations I saw in College Station, except most of those usually had 20 times more beer, toilet paper and condoms.  Gotta love frat boys.
