My bride texted me around 3:00 on Monday while I was working. I was caught up in the moment, so when I read “heading to Kroger after work, anything specific you need?” – I didn’t really think twice.

My reply – “Not that I can think of, maybe some Apple Jacks.”

Had I checked some on the trending topics on twitter, I would have found the hash tag #snOMG was trending number one. (New to twitter? Follow me here and Darrin here). The White Death was coming and I hadn’t warned her. Terrible planning on my part.

5:30 rolled around. 6:00. 6:20. Finally 6:24 came and before I could say anything, with her hands clenching 4 bags of groceries in each fist she said, “Kroger is insane right now. People are crazy.”

Anyway, fast forward to 10:30 Tuesday and I’m working from home, although I’m pretty sure Highlands is in school. Below are pictures of the storm’s progress.

10:30 AM


11:30 AM – roads looking better

1:00 – Roads still clear. Maybe it’s just because I’m on a main road, but it seems as if we have again succumb to the White Death. #snOMG. I’m going into the office.
