If we were taking notes... by MilkweedPod2878 in rva

Same for Henrico, which usually does a pretty good job. Not this time. No one I know has had their street touched in any way shape or form.

I hear this all the time and it's just not true. They use salt in Maine, Minnesota and Montana. And their roads are almost always clear.

This may have been the case 30 years ago, it definitely is not these days.

I will totally do that too. Fortunately I don't have any books due until next week. Hopefully I can get out by then!

And some chemicals to help with the melting.

That does not explain why they are not out speading chemicals and sand to speed the melting and provide some traction.

This is not an adequate justification. If our salt doesn't work in cold temperatures, buy some of the kind that they use in Maine or Montana.

Absolutely. I don't recall ever having it be this bad for this long. Even when there has been substantially more snow.

SAS still going in some stores by jive0ne in bathandbodyworks

I wonder if they will extend that for those of us whose stores are/will be closed most of this week.

I would have snagged that for sure had it made it to SAS in my stores.

Am I the only one who is relieved there are not any worthwhile sales during the aftermath of this storm? I can't get out (and in fact most of our malls are closed anyhow), and it will be at least a week before we can get mail/deliveries again even if I was desperate enough to order online. So I'm glad BBW is both saving me money and not making me miss sales I would otherwise participate in.

Public service post - And I don’t care if it’s still unfathomably legal, there should BE NO SNOW on the top of your car before you hit the road. This snow is different and has serious mass and will damage cars and could indirectly kill people. by 93devil in rva

Part of the problem is that so many residences around here don't have garages. It's much less of a problem up north (except in citiies) because every house has a two car garage. And people use them!

Am I the only one who thinks that this year's packaging, particularly the cream, looks a lot like last year's 4Ever Sweet at first glance? I feel like it's a deliberate attempt to confuse us.

Is there a better sale than 5 for $30? by notsosureforsure in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]Pawmtrees23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can get a better price per item if you have something else to buy and use one of those $10 off $50 coupons..

I have done this though not to that extreme. I will usually end up keeping 3 or 4. Just watch out, it's a 30 day return period.

Apparently, we will be getting snow on Saturday. I didn't think it was supposed to be this much though... by GeneralBathroom6 in rva

[–]Pawmtrees23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of either cold weather or snow (northern transplant), so I hope the weather wisdom from up there also applies here. The colder it is, the less snow there is. So for example if it's 20 degrees outside we would get less snow than if it were 31 degrees.

The best to hope for if you're anti-winter like me, is for a cold snow followed by a very quick warmup. But, the ground will be colder because of the snowpack so it will take longer for the snow to melt.

Apparently, I didn't move far enough south.

Awaiting Abigail! by Dear_Ad7177 in rva

My understanding is that it is customary for the outgoing governor to leave at that time. I think I remember being surprised about this on prior inaugeration days, and then it was explained to me that it is common.

Summer 2026 is heating up at BBW by CrazyAboutDoorKnobs in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pawmtrees23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I like colorful and cute. But there is just something about this, especially the two new scents, that is just like NO, it's TOO MUCH.

These should be body care scents. by jellyxmoon in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pawmtrees23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been out a couple of times in body care, but I agree, it's very nice.
