5 Ways To Know It's Snowing In The South
Odyssey

It's no secret that the south isn't prepared for snow, I mean with our humid climates and sunny and 65 days even in the middle of winter we rarely get the chance to see snow. But when we do see that little snowflake appear on our forecasts there's always a few ways to tell it's snowing in the south.

1. Every store mysteriously runs out of bread and milk

I don't know what is about southerners but every time we here it's going to snow we rush to the store to stock up on the essential items we need before the "blizzard" arrives like the apocalypse arrives.


2. We call everyone we know to let them snow is on the way.

No matter where you go someone is letting you know about the 25% chance of snow that's forecasted and asks if you've gotten your rations for bread and milk sandwiches.

3. Everything shuts down by the second snowflake

Oh, you had work today at 9 a.m. but you just saw three snowflakes? it's canceled, the roads are dangerous. Prepare yourself for the #Snowpocalypse

4. Everyone bundles up like they're in Antartica

When it drops below 55 degrees you absolutely have to wear three pairs of pants and two jackets, it's a rule here in the south.

5. Everyone takes pictures and plays in the snow.

You have to go play in the snow and document every moment because it might be another two years before you see snow again even though you got about 1/16th of an inch of snow.

Here are some pics from a recent snow storm in the south:

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
