How are you preparing for the snow?

By BETH WHEELOCK   Friday, March 19, 2010 - 1:39 p.m.

The weather outlook is frightful.

So with a sense of anticipation, I started getting ready for the big snow.

The pokey little puppy and I took a long walk.

I turned the compost pile.

Aaaaand...I played the snowball fight game on my Wii Fit Plus. You know, as training.

How are you getting ready?

I avoid reading the Janesville weather report and use plenty of sunblock when I go out.

I will be getting ready for this snow by letting mother nature melt it. Whenever the month of March gets here I do nothing except let it melt. I don't care how much snow we get. A note to BETH ---> Spring is near and more of us will be out and about in our cars so how about a blog about the pet peeves of DRIVING that "drive" us crazy in Janesville. Mine are the people that don't know that you should pull into the intersection while waiting for a left turn when the light is green. Many drivers wait behind the stop line and you get stuck at the light.

How am I preparing for less than 1 inch of snow? You're not serious, are you?

beth...yes, the toes get a little bit cold, but I hate shoes with a passion, so once I get the sandals out, I suffer through the cold spells until Thanksgiving. :-)

I went out and purchased as much water, bread, peanut butter, canned soup, batteries, milk, gasoline for the generator and a variety of non perishables that I could fit on my snowmobile and got ready to hunker down for the duration.
Oops! I’m sorry. I think I had a flashback to the Blizzard of “78” in Massachusetts.
As I remember that time, I did none of that and had no problem surviving. Everyone helped each other. Hmmm! “Everyone helped each other.” My, how times have changed.
