Recently there was a Severe Weather Advisory OMG Blizzard’s A-Coming, and since these natural-disaster-ish winters are new to me, I asked my local friends on the interweb whether I should be, like, concerned, or if this was just going to be like any other Chicago winter day but with more complaining, or what.
The various responses broke down along basically these lines:
1) Real blizzards are srs bzns. You wanna have canned goods and fresh water on hand. Get some of that plastic wrap shit to put on your windows. Allow an extra hour or so for travel on public transit.
2) It’s probably not actually going to happen, we get storm warnings like this all the time. Use common sense and you should be fine.
3) Well, maybe in Chicago this counts as a lot of snow, but we never got worked up about this kind of weather back in Cleveland…
