Emergency! Emergency! There's an Emergency Going On!

But don't panic too much, this is a snow emergency. I've always thought the word 'Emergency' is a little dramatic for what it actually is. A snow emergency generally means that you can only park on one side of the road so that they can plough the other one. It really should be called a 'snow inconvenience' or something like that.

The first time I heard them say 'A snow emergency has been declared', I was expecting sirens to be going off and people running about in the streets screaming, I didn't realise that it was just 72 hours of inconvenient parking measures. I'm surprised that they don't try to blame it on the terrorists and their magic snow making machines!

Well, I guess I'd better get into the Snow Emergency bunker and wait until spring, see you soon!
