Blog Subject:  Snow Advice For Our Easternish Friends

I am thinking a lot (after watching the news) of our eastern friends. Liminal is in Maryland, Abashai is in Ohio, and everywhere in between we have Mizaharians all up and down the eastern seaboard. I thought I'd offer up the funniest snow thing I've ever heard for your consideration in today's blog. If you don't get the Little House on the Prairie joke you've never sat as a little girl and read all the Little House books - which are amazing for a girl of about 6-8 to enjoy. Also, we all have that neighbor. You know the one. The entire article is reposted here for your reading pleasure, but the original one was posted on NPR here. Hopefully married people and horse owners alike will enjoy the humor. :)

Some advice for you folks in the mid-Atlantic on snowstorms: You can trust me; I live in the Midwest. We get phenomenal amounts of snow pretty regularly ... though I could see where you might not know that, because we have to get, like, apocalyptic amounts of ice before anyone on The Weather Channel bothers to point it out. So anyway, here are my rules for a safe, healthy, happy snow experience.

1. Chopping up your furniture for fuel goes a lot more smoothly if you keep your axes nice and sharp.

2. Do not pay more than $50 for a loaf of black-market Wonder Bread.

3. There's more food in your house than you think. Search the junk drawers — there are often stale Gummi bears and Lemonhead candies.

4. Check on your shut-in neighbors, especially the ones who don't think you are sufficiently serious about lawn care in the summertime. Be extra-nice and superconcerned while you are there. They will feel guilty. The evil glee in your heart will keep you warm.

5. If Pa goes out to find more wheat, tell him to go to Almanzo Wilder's. He's holding back some in the walls to use for seed next spring.

6. Four-wheel drive will get you only so far. Next year, consider investing in a mule. Their accelerator pedals never stick! In fact, their accelerator pedals are a stick!

7. Keep a sense of perspective. Running out of Chai Latte K-Cups is not worth a call to 911.

8. To clear your driveway of heavy snow and ice, get married.

9. Stay off the roads if you can ... but if you absolutely, positively have to get to Capitol Hill, strap yourself to Mitch McConnell and tell him that Harry Reid's scheduled a vote on abolishing the filibuster.

10. Enjoy it. Stay home; stay safe; make soup; read a book. Make snow angels. Learn what we already know here in the Midwest — you can think of snow as an annoyance, or accept it for what it is — a gift of time. Time with your family, time with your thoughts, time to be thankful for shelter and warmth and hot chocolate. Take the gift; enjoy it; use it well.

Thanks for thinking of us Jen! In fact, we got about a foot of snow and lost power. Our county is under a level 3 emergency, which means you could get a ticket for even being on the road. But my wife and I had reservations for a hotel 60 miles away, without kids. Ain't no way I was staying home! So we mounted the 4x4 mule and now I am In a cozy hotel room with my lady. Which makes me wonder why I am online (free wireless and an iPod Touch)... Have a great weekend, I know I am! :)

I have never seen snow in my life. Sad, isn't it.
