    Around here, Blizzards come in a cup from Dairy Queen. I’m not sure you’d prepare frantically for one.

    Hmm. As a Las Vegas resident I do not know what this “blizzard” would be either. Thank you, Professor Puck, for your knowledge and insight!

    Like GreasyOld Tam, the only blizzards here are from DQ. Haven’t these guys seen snow before? I was sure they had.

    Elvis, a blizzard caused all that snow on the ground than Christmas season when Tommy rescued you. Remember?

    I see the station research department has come up with two file images. But neither are correct. A blizzard is the existential nullification of the external world.

    Never mind stockpiling milk and bread, because if the People forget the true essentials — ham, tuna, kibble, kitty litter — it’s going to be a VERY long week indeed!

    Oh no! Panic in the streets! Will the Blizzard cast evil weather spells or just dance around, wearing goofy hats?! Surely we are likely to have an unfortunate and inescapable outcome!

    This is where I have a unique frame of reference, being – as Georgia is – from Rhode Island. In February 1978, a storm was forecast to drop 2-4 inches of snow over southern New England. Only problem was, the weather system stalled over the state and ended up dropping closer to 2-3 feet of snow, along with associated blizzard conditions. The state was almost literally completely shut down for the better part of a week. Ever since then, a forecast of “a few inches of snow” in Rhode Island is deemed a “history-making, once-in-a-lifetime event” t hat triggers a mad rush to the grocery store for bread and milk.

    Footnote: there was a bit of a spike in births in Rhode Island in November 1978. My brother being one of the statistics.

    The Boys are about to discover that a blizzard brings the Void – in this case, likely a mega-Void.

    Oh, but Puck!! There’s the remote chance a ‘Blizzard’ is that little organ inside of chickens – which some folk fry up and eat! …

    But, like very bad weather – I’ve never been fond of Gizzards!! :)

    The humans will take good care of you, kitties. Just think good thoughts toward the outside critters and get the humans to buy lots of extra bird seed. I saw a robin yesterday. That’s almost six weeks earlier than usual, but this has been a weird too warm and too wet winter.

    Georgia and fam live here in the Seattle area now, and every snow prediction is treated like Ragnarok is on the way. There is some justification, the unusual topography here makes accurate forecasting nearly impossible.

    Fun Fact: In the Nineteenth Century a “blizzard” was a light snowfall, and a “flurry” was a heavy one. That’s why a boxer may be said to land “a flurry of blows” or reporters ask a “flurry of questions.”h/t Bill Bryson

    P.S.: I like the DQ Blizzards, too.

    My childhood cat, Domino, would be able to tell them the worst part…we had to use the fireplace non-stop for the 11 days we were snowed in, and, not to put too fine a point on it, the fireplace was Domino’s indoor lavatory (for when we weren’t home or when the weather was foul…this worked surprisingly well, and he came up with it himself. Charcoal left by the logs deodorized, and the “leavings” went down through the ash trap and were cleaned out in the basement). He couldn’t go outside for the 3 days the wind blew, but after a while, the low roof and steep pitch of our Cape Cod-style roofline gave us a completely snowed in front porch, with a 4 foot area from the windows to the snowdrift. Domino popped out the window when we opened it, had his private time, buried it in loose snow, and popped back in. We did this a few times a day until we could get to the store and kitty litter for the duration (BTW, Domino was an indoor/outdoor cat (this was 42 years ago), and he didn’t have to wait the 3 days…we made a makeshift litter box out of a cardboard box and shredded paper, but he hated it and only used it when he had to). (This is what we lived through in 1977 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_1977)

    OT: Whoever mentioned Agatha Raisin on yesterday’s strip- thanks for the tip, I’m reading the first book now.

    Although I was only about a chapter in when I got the sinking feeling that I’m about 20 years from becoming Agatha myself- driven career type, not really making friends, and no real idea what to do with myself when it comes time to retire and I’ve bought a nice townhouse or something somewhere….
