[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I don't see any freaking out. Not a bit. People are wondering if their work/ school will close, sure. There's good precedent for that. People are wondering if they'll lose power. Also a pretty informed concern. People are buying an extra bottle of wine. That's just good planning.

But the grizzled new englanders are assuming freak-out where THERE IS NONE. Really, I ask you... who's making a mountain out of a molehill here??

There are five separate threads on DCUM about the snow.  People have their panties in a twist.  My coworker just asked if I was going to stock up on supplies.  SERIOUSLY???

No, talking about something that's going to affect the whole region, even just for a day, does not, in and of itself, qualify as "freaking out". Preemptively leaving the region to go to a hotel in South Carolina, yes. Endless verbal hand-wringing about the survival of one's newborn ("if we lose power it'll be 50 degrees in my house!!! what will I dooooooo?!?!?!?!?") qualifies as freaking out. Any statement that includes the phrase "I'm freaking out here" [i]may or may not[/i] qualify as freaking out. (C'mon, it's The Internet. Hyperbole is the local vernacular.)

[/quote]The only freaking out is coming from people who are somehow personally offended that snow is conversation worthy. You all sound like Grandpa Simpson. So really, unclench about the perceived clenchedness. Relax, get that extra bottle of wine, and enjoy a pretty snow day! I know I'm going to. :D
