   We're getting up to 8 inches of snow starting as early as 7am tomorrow.

   My wife has decided we're going to go grocery shopping now. At 9pm. The night before a snow storm.

     @murph @ajroach42 Thank you! We always called it snowstorm shopping back home, and that's a new turn of phrase by me.

     We've been stuck at home since friday morning. I'm very grateful we went to the grocery story thursday night.

     We were able to leave friday morning for a few minutes, and we got some coffee, and we made it home afterwards, but we haven't been able to leave since then.

     It has gotten warm enough for the snow to turn to slush, and then cold enough for it to all turn to ice.

     So everything is white and our gravel road is impassable, and a bunch of roads around are closed.

     I've seen a dozen videos of people in the nearby resort community trying to leave and just sliding off the road.

     Over and over again. Just driving down a narrow slanted road, hitting ice, and then sliding down a small cliff.

     @murph @ajroach42 Do you mind if I quote you on that? I'd like to use it in a #neologisms post.

     @drwho @ajroach42 I don't claim to have coined it or anything, but, sure.
