Snow is blinding Knoxvillians and causing mass hysteria.

KNOXVILLE – It is what every kid dreams for in the whimsical month of December: snow. Lots and lots of snow. Today, Knoxvillian children everywhere got their wish, as bleach white snow trickled down to cover Mom and Dad’s windshield early this morning. Blue House members Leelee, Scooter, and Nichole were among the first to witness this joyous, yet dangerous occasion. As an experienced snow dweller from the Great Northwest, Nichole forewarns of the catastrophic events that soon follow snowfall. There is the dreaded black ice hiding on the roads, the fear of depleting food supplies, the running out of the toilet paper, not having a North Face or Columbia winter jacket, and the blackout. But there are many precautionary steps one can take to soften the blow of these hard times to follow.

 

The first rule is to stockpile as many groceries as one can.

The first rule is to stockpile as many groceries as one can.

A.)  Go to your local grocery store and buy everything in sight. You never know how long you’ll be stuck in the house.

B.)  Top off your car, whether you plan on driving or not, it’s just a good idea.

C.)  Stock up on liquor because it keeps you warm.

D.)  Buy a generator of some sorts, or a Mr. Heater for when the power goes out, which could last for days, even months.

E.)   Put chains on your tires, you don’t want to get stuck in a ditch somewhere during a blizzard.

F.)   Layer up. It will be cold and you might get frost bite if snow touches you.

G.)  Have a gun on hand, or some type of weapon, just in case your no-good-neighbor decides to steal your rations because he didn’t take the necessary steps to prepare his family for the harsh winter times.

H.)  And remember, if you’re on the road and you start to slide, unbuckle and jump out, it’s your safest bet.

 

Unlike Knoxvillians, Seatteites have no problem traversing tundra-like conditions.

Snow is no laughing matter. It is dangerous and life-threatening. Winter is Mother Nature’s time of the month and snow is a bitch, so watch out and be safe.
