Snowstorm Coming: Calm Down People

Yes, our weather friends are giving us the heads-up that we may be getting some snow going into early Monday morning. You know what that means? Yes, people just go nuts and crazy for the coming snowstorm or the cute name that they will call this on social media, whether it be “snowpocalypse” or “snowmageddon” or whatever.

I don’t want to be all snarky (but I know that’s why you love me) but let me be the first to say (again), “Hey people, it’s January and we live in Ohio. It’s gonna snow sometimes.” Why do people always buy all the bananas, toilet paper, and alcohol? Well, the last part I get. If you’re gonna be hold up at home, why not some booze. (Disclaimer: As a medical professional, I have to advise people to take EVERYTHING in moderation. Thank you and back to your blog post)

Anyway, it’s just interesting to me to watch the human reaction to episodes like this. For some reason, when any kind of weather even is forecast to happen, anxiety sets in, and a lot of people’s first reaction is to stock up on certain things for weeks, even though the weather event (sometimes) quickly moves through the area.

Finally, going into the weekend, I again want to thank everybody for the cool growth of followers of this Facebook page, and for all your comments, reactions, shares, etc. I feel a real online community growing here, and giving you some kind of connection to others, even though we have to “physically distance.” Thanks so much for reading this, and I hope all of you have a great weekend! Stay strong and stay safe....
