The countdown to Snowmageddon 2016 begins officially today. I went to Whole Foods last night (I know, I know, so basic) and there was LITERALLY no more milk in the store. I mean, really. Why is it that people always stock up on milk?? Does your milk consumption go through the roof when it snows outside? “Well crap, Linda. It looks like we’re stuck at home for two days because of the snow. I guess we’ll just have to drink ten glasses of milk each per day.” Southerners really have no chill when it comes to winter weather, it’s a real problem.
