"Snowpocolypse 2011!"

Father/son pep talk


Hey, old man...I thought you liked the snow!











Yes, that's what they were calling it...The entire town of STL shut down this week in anticipation of the "big one". 24/7 broadcasts of poor reporters out in the elements waiting for the calamity to strike. Malls shut down, grocery stores closed, Blues hockey canceled-wait...I thought they needed ice. Schools closed for days on end. So here's what really happened. A little rain, sleet for half a day, and then about 4-5 inches of snow. Are you kidding? We bought a generator, a kerosene heater, a week's worth of food (that we had to fight for off the empty shelves of Walmart)! How disappointing. No emergency, not even a little inconvenience. Other than two teenagers laying around the house all week.Poor Dad, he was in crisis mode-and loving every minute. hehe. Well, when the next one comes around we will be READY. So, come on over.
