Any time a meteorologist breaks out the s-word in the South, things get a little crazy.
Snow. Boom. All the bread and milk is gone. For what reason? Who knows.
Anytime snow is mentioned, everything shuts down, and people are prepared for the worst. We will be snowed in for weeks. We will starve. We may even freeze to death. May the odds be ever in your favor.
1. Everything gets cancelled.
When we say everything, we mean everything. Schools have the day off, businesses close, and the roads shut down. Northerners, you just don't understand this one.
2. Stay off of the roads!
No, I'm serious. Don't drive. Southerners don't comprehend how to drive with a little precipitation on the ground (this even applies for rain!). Don't forget about the Atlanta Gridlock in January 2014 from winter weather that lasted for a few days.
3. Stock up on bread and milk.
Who really knows why bread and milk? I don't think anyone knows the real reason behind it, but everyone knows when it snows, you must have your bread and milk to survive.
4. Complain about it on social media.
When there's snow in the forecast, everyone becomes an expert meteorologist on their social media pages. As a part of a basic unspoken rule, you must go online and complain about your opinion of the snow and how you don't want it.
5. Tell everyone you know it's snowing.
If you didn't know, everyone I come in contact with, it's snowing outside!!!
6. Complain about it on social media some more.
In case your social media friends didn't hear the first time, you have to make your opinion clear on the snow situation outside.
7. Point out how cold it is and that you can't wait for summer.
The snow has now been on the ground for a total of one hour, but it is now welcome to leave. I had my temporary fun in it, and I do not want it anymore. Can I return this without a receipt?
