When Hell Freezes Over...

Smh. I don't know how many of you out there in the "net world" live in, or have ever been to SC. What I DO know is that none of you ever want to have the misfortune of being here when...***cue dramatic DUM! DUM! DUUUM!!*** WINTER WEATHER STRIKES!!!! Gasp!

Here in the south we're known for charm, hospitality, and hot friggin' summers. Seriously, I become Mega-Twat around July of every year. The temperatures are nearly unbearable from about June to September. 100 degrees is a "cooler" day. It's incredibly humid, and the weather is a devious bastard that who gives a brief shower of cooling rain, only to come back ten degrees hotter fifteen minutes later. It's insane.

Our winter's are generally mild, with rain and very, very minimal snow, sleet, ice etc. It just doesn't happen here. We are a people accustomed to the warmth of the south, and it has spoiled us.

However...and this is the best part of SC, (from a distance and the safety of my home of course) we do have rare occasions where it MIGHT snow a bit, or perhaps sleet. A few years ago we had a minor freeze over where everything in sight was covered in a layer of ice. I say minor, because I was born in Virginia and some of my oldest memories involve snow banks four feet high, and worse. If you ask the average South Carolinian, it was quite an event. The photo below was snapped in my yard that year. Magnolias on ice =) 

And here we are now, 2013, and it is currently freezing outside once more. It began sleeting around 9am this morning. And has progressively gotten colder and wetter since. It is 26 degrees, with hazardous weather warnings indicating "accumulation" and "0.05 inches of ice". Now, I know to people up north, and to the west, this is no cause for alarm. But in South Carolina, it is cause for sheer chaos.

This is where I get to the best part, though.

In these conditions, the people here go NUTS!!!!!

Everyone forgets how to drive, and people swarm to the grocery store to buy milk, and bread.
I've never in my life come to any kind of understanding with that logic. If we lose electricity the milk will spoil. Bread makes sense in the short term, I guess. But, come on now. I've seen a complete riot at local grocers over these two coveted items.

This is so spot on ..............^^

But yes, seeing how I am in no way interested in leaving the cozy comfort of my home, away from all that madness, I've decided to dedicate today's blog to winter and the related.....
