I'm sure there will be lots of people getting "all bagged up" (that's slang for drunk) this weekend.

great that sandbags and sand are available again this year, but after Saturday night/Sunday morning, it will be interesting as to how the local residents wil be accessing the sand under the forcasted 4-8" of snow...
