Well, we’re barely surviving here in frigid Greenville, S.C. We have a few inches of …
- … sleet. Yep, not even snow. Either way, the State of South Carolina has been cancelled until further notice.
We’re doing OK. We’ve lit a few candles just in case the power goes out.
But wait ... oh, no! We're out of milk! It’s snowing outside and we don’t have any milk!! All we have is a small jug of half-and-half. How will we make it?
- An even if we could brave the roads, there’s no milk to be had. This is what the milk section looked like yesterday at Wal-Mart (photo compliments of David Lovegrove).
- It’s a good thing we don’t need bread (photo from the same Wally World).
- Things are looking bad. We’re down to the last of our rations … we’re eating canned cranberry sauce just to survive.
- We’ve been forced to break into the gingerbread house, for just a little extra sustenance.
- Oh, the desolation! Winter, you are so cruel! The official winter storm warning lasts until 6 this evening … will we make it?

Love this, Emily. Glad I got my bread and milk before the “wintry mix” forecast was made! But on the other hand, I don’t drive in even an inch of sleet. It was bad enough walking out my back door to take poor Barney out. You would have laughed at his little legs slipping and sliding every which way!

I guess being lactose intolerant made it an easy weekend for you.

It doesn’t matter if you can actually DRINK the milk, Brian. You just have to have it when it snows.
Clearly you don’t understand anything about surviving in a snowstorm. How did you make it up in Wisconsin??

It’s a good thing I was already off campus by the time I got the emails saying not to leave campus. I would have thought the roads were impassible or something.

There’s nothing more comforting that inordinate amounts of french toast during a winter storm. Admit it–you want some too.
