A storm came out of nowhere in December 2002 and it was brutal. Four hours to exit the mall parking lot onto Battlefield. Not to mention the ice storms over the years. They are a different breed in Springfield.

OP can get fucked.

It was several days before you could get anything. Some stores had generators but could only take cash. Lines were hours long at the stores that were open. It was brutal.

Thanks all! I did find them at Natural Grocers. Hy-Vee didn’t show them available for online pickup and I did go to my nearest momma jeans but must have looked in the wrong spot. I appreciate it.

I think he means the residents of Springfield he perceives to be overreacting to the weather forecast.

I like to add a splash of Grand Marnier or cognac, as well.

Report James River Church to the IRS here for failing to comply with tax-exemption law.

Yooo looking for friends in town that are also gamers on the spectrum? Me + husband

Easy. Cesar Old Mexico and El Champu Taco Truck.

Cesar got the best pastor and lengua I ever had! The lengua taco literally taste like pho on a tortilla.. simply phenomenal! And Champu has amazing Birria by far the best I had in town, so cheesy.

My MIL worked for City Utilities and didn't have any power but two little boys at home. She had to work 24/7 with her kids freezing at home alone. Shit like that absolutely breaks you.

1. The ice storm of 2007
2. More than half of Springfield residents live at or below the poverty level. That means living paycheck to paycheck. You can't plan ahead to have extra food or supplies, you have to get stuff at the last second. Whatever you can afford.
3. Because most Springfieldians are quite poor, they have less access to jobs with flexible schedules and are typically expected to show up regardless of the weather. They're prepping the best they can for the trek ahead - with vehicles that aren't as safe on the roads as they would prefer, but they are choosing between two bad options. Go to work in a car w/bald tires and no heat vs no job, no rent money, homeless, get arrested and have your kids taken.

I would highly recommend Greenwood especially if it’s free tuition. It’s a night and day upgrade over public school.

The cold weather shelters desperately need people right now

Pure death. You'll get in a fatal accident if you even look outside. Lie down in your bed and accept your fate, we're all as good as dead. It's a judgement from Almighty God.

They're fine right now in Springfield. We won't know for several hours if it'll be bad. I don't think it will be since the ground is relatively warm, probably just slushy in the morning.

I highly recommend Nancy at Gloss, she does amazing work. And she takes her time, doesn’t rush like a lot of other nail techs in town.

😂

Snowing in the middle of Springfield, but not sticking!

GL Moore has been great to our family and my daughters. Family owned and legit kind people. I know this is a late post so I assume you have already made a decision but they are awesome and I wanted to throw their name in the hat just in case. :)

Be sure to add a smidgen of nutmeg and vanilla.

I’m east of Springfield and the flooding is up to my waist. I’m gonna need Captain Springfield after this. Oh wait, he’s in hot water. Mine is brrrr cold. Where is Ron Hearst in shorts when you need him?!?!?! 🥶🌪️🧊🎄🇺🇸

> From the exhaustive list you could have made you pointed out the least viable/productive, makes sense.

Yes. I assumed that the reader would take the examples you gave as implicit and not viable for the reasons I later explained. This credit I extended to the reader was clearly not warranted in all cases, as you have shown.

And good luck to you, should you ever find yourself in adverse circumstances. I hope those around you will show more understanding and compassion to you than you seem to show to others in the case that you might have to make the sort of difficult decisions many people face every day.

I’m originally from Maryland, and people there do the same thing. Forget finding bread, milk, toilet paper or eggs if there’s snow in the forecast. They salt the roads 2 days before the forecasted snow and school gets called when the first flake falls.

If you are originally from up north it is very different to see. It is wildly strange how it is all hands on deck to shut down everything in the area.

There’s no snow near Strafford
