What no update on the food? 

 

Never came

12 hours into this experiment and so far no major adverse effects. The snow is still falling or blowing or drifting. At last check we had about 5' 10" of snow. I know that because that is how tall my mailman is and all I can see is his hat. I'm watching The Voice for the first time. So what happened to Simon Cowell? Did he die? Run out of skinny jeans and black tee-shirts? And is Paula Abdul still wacko? Wait is that her with the beard? I knew she was crazy but not that crazy. And what do they do with the people that get dumped? Do they end up working at one of those singing diners? Oh my god, one of them has a puppet. I'm not drunk, I swear. Maybe its being locked inside my house but I think the puppet just voted someone off the island. Let it snow, let it snow, let this blog go.

We've now made a roast.  We're down a case of IPA and 3/4 of a handle of Tully and 2 cans of Cope.  We're now watching Rambo.  This snow storm has seen strippers, weird food, an absurd amount of booze, a dog that loves metal, and a drunk friend who just accidentally chugged a half full spitter.  For only three of us, this has been a successful blizzard. 'Merica.

Currently unburying my truck out from what seems like 10' of snow.

Had a nice snow day with the family. Office was closed, school was closed and my wife didn't go to work. We got close to 2 feet of snow. I Snowblowed 3 times. As a reward for my hard work I watched some stuff on my Kodi Firestick and had a bourbon and coke.

[J Francho]

Took me a half hour to go next door from work, but I got a 4 for $4 Wendy's meal.

Now begins digging out my iced in car for work.  Wish me luck.  This is going to suck.

24 hours into this blog and finally the dig out started. 4 hours into the shoveling I finally made it to freedom, well actually it was my neighbors house. He didn't have any Chunky Munkey so I turned around. When I did I found an inch more of snow had fallen. I considered dynamite as a snow removal tool but was told over the phone by the lady at the town hall that it was against every law currently in the towns charter. I found that hard to believe but I had to take her word for it. The town's snow removal only focuses around the Mayor's residence and any bars or pizza parlors in the towns boundaries. While surfing the interweb I came across the word "unitard", I laughed and moved on. One of my new neighbors from Florida passed by my window. He was wearing every piece of clothing he owns. I watched him get hit by a falling icicle. He lost his job in Florida and had to relocate to somewhere less affluent. Which is a nice way of saying he's broke and can't afford a decent neighborhood so he is stuck in this rat's behind. Poor sole. The wind is howling, my stomach is growling, the blog goes on.

You should make your way to the mayor's, and order a pizza.

The mayor is in Florida for 2 weeks. Business of course. And I'm not allowed to order pizza from any places in town. Seems they don't like it when you order topping that shouldn't be on pizza like poker chips or shards of glass. In my defense, those would be better than the hard, thin slices of what they call "pepperoni". And don't get me started on pineapple.

Pineapple on pizza is a crime.

Agreed.  NO fruit on pizza for me!

We were close to 70, last week.  Then the wind and cold hit.  This is right off one of my fishing spots:

 

That looks a lot like what happens to exposures during a cold winter structure fire ....

That's why you add ham AND bacon to it ...

Interesting post Gundog. I hope you survive this cataclysmic event! I have enjoyed reading about your struggles. I realize that is a little twisted, but I am what I am.

 

Pineapple on pizza may not be a crime, but it is an abomination that should be.

When we get pizza, my 6 year old son asks for pineapple, then when he gets it he picks all the pineapple off and eats it plain.

Thank you for your concern. I may survive physically but mentally I'll be scarred for years. I'm afraid every time I go to the freezer section at the grocery store I'm gonna uncontrollably start punching the frozen peas. And don't feel bad for enjoying my misery. I share it so everyone can enjoy it.

Sounds like he has a future in government work.

 Sounds like he might enjoy spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans & spam ~  without the baked beans.

Pineapple and ham are delicious together. On anything.  As for food, you should have just stockpiled scrapple and whiskey.  Where you're at, those two things basically grow on trees.  

 

I wish I took before and after pictures of my car.  It was covered completely in 3-5" of ice.  You guys at least got snow.  We got a horrible icyshitstorm.

 

Also - spending a blizzard at a real awful strip club on a Monday night is incredible.

Its finally over. The Snowpocalypse 2017 has ended. The eastern seaboard of the US is decimated with half the population dead and the other half surviving only because they hoarded all the bread, eggs and milk. Its time to repopulate the earth. Our species MUST continue on. This is what I will be telling all the attractive women I meet today. Like a mole surfacing for the first time in years, the sun hurts my eyes. My pasty white skin will blend in easily with the blaring white terrain. This is the end of one misery but only the beginning of another. Now comes the fight to keep the spot that I've cleared for my vehicle from being subjugated by someone who did not put in the time or effort needed to deserve it. Maybe I'll put out a cone. My supplies have been depleted so I must forage for more. Combing the countryside for sustenance, fighting off roaming hoards of bandits, all for the chance to find my beloved Chunky Munkey (I'm kinda getting sick of that flavor, maybe I'll go with Chocolate Cherry Garcia). As this is my last entry into this blog (minus any replies to comments made, snarky or otherwise) I want to thank all those who have followed my ramblings over the last 2 days. Sanity is not an easy thing to keep (or prove, ask any judge I've ever been forced to be in front of) but this blog has helped to retain a small part of it. Now time has come to venture forth and help rebuild civilization. It won't be easy cause we are starting from scratch but we can do it. I'll bring the ice cream.

Technically, pizza outside of the four Burroughs is not really pizza at all.  It's a pizza -like food item.  We have a place locally that actually imports water from Brooklyn, and it's pretty close.  Apparently the soft water found there is secret to the crust.  I will say, I love a deep dish, Chicago style pizza.  But that is not really a pizza, in my eyes.  Call me a purest...or a hypccrite, if you want.  And yes, I also have been known to hit the Pizza Hut buffet.
