We Haven’t Had One Flake Of Snow Yet Here Where I Live But If We Do & It’s A Heavy Wet Snow, I Want To Make This Type Of Snow Man…

@AbbeyRhode They do that here and they’ll clean the shelves of certain staples, most of the canned soups, ramen noodles, frozen pizza, lunchmeat, milk, eggs, bread, chips, ice cream and other such things. We usually get ice more than deep snow and forecasts for ice will do it too. People will bring their little old mamas into Walmarts so they can get their groceries 3 days before the storm hits…they been around long enough to know the shelves will be bare if they wait till the last day.

@cherokeepatti At least you seem to get a fair amount of snow. If we get anything, it's a dusting to an inch.

@AbbeyRhode Mostly dusting here. But some years we’ll get a big dump of snow. It’s been a few years, the last one happened in a February. Shuts a lot of things down for a couple days. A foot and a half of snow has happened about 3 different times here that I remember, and it was in the past 36 years, we’ve had some smaller ones that were considered blizzards due to strong winds.

@cherokeepatti That's a good idea! I've never frozen milk before!

@4meAndyou It would taste a lot better than powdered milk. I’ve heard that they put monosodium glutamate in it, which might explain why it has a bit of a bitter taste. I should be freezing buttermilk, it’s hard to finish an entire carton when I just need a couple cups.

@cherokeepatti I had to use the powdered milk for a couple of weeks when I ran out of money, and I can't really taste any bitterness. The only thing I've noticed is that it is a bit more watery than regular milk, and doesn't make my mouth sticky after I drink it.
