5 Ways To Know It's Snowing In The South
Odyssey

It's no secret that the south isn't prepared for snow, I mean with our humid climates and sunny and 65 days even in the middle of winter we rarely get the chance to see snow. But when we do see that little snowflake appear on our forecasts there's always a few ways to tell it's snowing in the south.

1. Every store mysteriously runs out of bread and milk

I don't know what is about southerners but every time we here it's going to snow we rush to the store to stock up on the essential items we need before the "blizzard" arrives like the apocalypse arrives.


2. We call everyone we know to let them snow is on the way.

No matter where you go someone is letting you know about the 25% chance of snow that's forecasted and asks if you've gotten your rations for bread and milk sandwiches.

3. Everything shuts down by the second snowflake

Oh, you had work today at 9 a.m. but you just saw three snowflakes? it's canceled, the roads are dangerous. Prepare yourself for the #Snowpocalypse

4. Everyone bundles up like they're in Antartica

When it drops below 55 degrees you absolutely have to wear three pairs of pants and two jackets, it's a rule here in the south.

5. Everyone takes pictures and plays in the snow.

You have to go play in the snow and document every moment because it might be another two years before you see snow again even though you got about 1/16th of an inch of snow.

Here are some pics from a recent snow storm in the south:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire.
