Face it. The stereotypes regarding residents of the lower half of the country before, during, and after a snowstorm are all painfully true. Milk, bread, and eggs fly off of the shelves of supermarkets as if the local custom during a snowstorm revolves around cold cut sandwiches, scrambled eggs, and milkshakes and usually-competent, safe drivers turn into Mad Max.

More often than not, that temporary, instinctual lapse of cognitive and sensible brain activity pours onto Facebook in a stream of self-induced hysteria.

3) People cursing the superintendent of their home school system

-Kids are angry if they have to school. Parents are angry if their kids don't have to go to school. Grandparents are a wild-card, and could be angry either way. Either way, people are angry.

2)Lyrics from Frozen

-Because they're just so darn catchy.

1)"Brace yourselves… winter is coming." or any variation of that phrase from A Game of Thrones.
