Guy needs to get his bread and milk!
I saw the same thing when I was at Ft Bliss once when it snowed. El Paso was utter chaos. It was like bumper cars. No one knew how to drive. It was quick comical at times to see people walk with long stride steps on snow and ice. No center of balance + a slippery surface + gravity = fun for a northern boy.
That confuses the yellow snow issue.
Right....Themlk will freeze to death in the snow.
Right....The milk will freeze to death in the snow.
Input ... output.
Don’t forget that you’d shove your finger into the coin return pocket on every phone you passed (before they added the little swinging doors)...sometimes you’d get lucky and find a small fortune. Man, that was heaven.
“Turning what upside down?”
Obviously not a Texan. When you get a Blizzard at DQ they are supposed to turn it upside down so you can see that it is thick and not melted and runny. It’s a Texas thang.
Bread and Milk? I would rather buy dry powder milk to mix with flour to make something like biscuits or real home made bread.
My Uncle, who lived on the HIGH PLAINS of Colorado, said everyone should always keep two weeks of supplies on hand just in case there was a storm and you could not get to a store. Two weeks supplies does not take up much space.

****What’s the point of stocking up on milk if the electricity goes out for about a week? It’ll just spoil****
Just set it out in the snow. It will keep.
My momma used to make Jello back about 60 years ago by mixing it, then setting it out in the snow.
We learned how to live without a refrigerator many years ago. Got by with just a portable cooler and a block of ice for years.
****The last time I bought TP was several years ago.****
Just save up a few back years of telephone books! The paper is pulp and not slick like the old SEARS catalog.
How could there have possibly been a blizzard in March 1888 in NYC? We all know that the US was a Garden of Eden before fossil fuels destroyed the climate. I understand that the entire US had a perfectly balmy climate, rarely deviating from the annual mean temperature of 72 F, rain fell year-round as pleasant spring showers, and the wind never blew harder than a gentle breeze.
There was also a series of intense HEAT WAVES in NYC for several years back then. They happened in the summer when things are supposed to be cool. Maybe it was the first power plants that started up about that time.

“Put a dirty kid and a clean kid in a room to play, and after a while they are both dirty ... the clean NEVER rubs off and makes the dirty kid clean ... the dirt always rubs off and makes the clean kid dirty.”
You do realize that the dirty kid is the conservative out playing and the clean one is the sanitized lib? Problem is the lib kid gets to enjoy himself and get dirty, then his parents sue then no kid can get dirty.
Just anther way to lo at it.
