I'm scared shitless.
The news guy just said "some white stuff may fall from the sky tomorrow".

He didn't say what the stuff is going to be.

I hope it's not poisonous.

1. December 5th. It's the annual
"Congress skydiving" event.


If there are other forms of big white flakes available, do let me know...

2. Are you in the South?
White stuff falling from the sky IS a thing to be feared here. Especially if you are driving. They have no clue how to drive when the white stuff falls from the sky. "OH! I have four-wheel-drive! I can drive just as fast as I please, even on ice!" Yup. Be afraid.

4. At the newspaper I worked at, our style guide prohibited "white stuff" as a "euphemism" for snow.
Quite rightly, too.

15. oooh! Maybe he meant household appliances? You might be able to
dodge the blenders and toaster ovens, but be sure to take cover when the refrigerators and washer dryer sets turn up!

:rofl:
