So I found this on the Washington Post. I thought is was funny and I liked the cynical tone the writer had in this piece. I enjoyed the humor Mr. Achenbach used, I literally laughed out loud as I read it. It’s basically talking about getting ready for the up coming snow storm and buying up anything you can and the hysteria that goes along with that kind of thinking. It doesn’t have any real point to it other then people act crazy when it snows.
I went home to Charlottesville for the weekend due to my parents incessant badgering. I went to the grocery store last night (Thursday) for ice cream, and it was bizarre how empty it was. There was no eggs, no milk, all of the produce and meat products were gone, and randomly all of the cookies were also bought up-luckily I was still able to find chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I even took some pictures on my phone and would put on here if only I knew how. Today when I sat down to do this post and looked for stories this one stood out, because it was a story I had seen with my own two eyes. I found it humorous that someone actually put into print what I had been thinking last night as I walked through the sad sight grocery store.
My family and I are originally from New York. We moved to Charlottesville when I got out of high school. We crack up every time Virgina gets snow. People here have no idea what a real snow storm is like-no offense. I’m not complaining- I didn’t have class today or a couple times last week because of the snow. So really what I’m trying to say is, stay innocent Virginia to bad snow storms, that way I will forever have snow days.
