We're expecting up to an inch tomorrow in central Texas.
If we get that much, that will be most accumulation in 14 years!

The thread title doesn't make sense. He's digging out the cellar. So the thread title would make more sense if it read, This Is What Happens When You Cellar. I just looked at that title and at that cartoon and they just doesn't work.
The way I read it, he didn't stash enough tobacco so he's having to dig his way out to get some. (?) I'm looking out the window right now, in central N.C., at the bigs flakes coming down, supposedly potentially 4 to 6 inches depending on the area. For us, here, this is a big snow fall. Temps may melt a good deal of it over the weekend, but it's going to be slow moving until that happens. For the days of snowfall we have, and the days it stays on the ground, it just isn't cost effective to have the huge fleets of trucks to plow and salt, though we have some of those, and they've been brining the big roads for days. But ah, the beauty. And the sound of it, a kind of whisper, and the quiet veil it imposes on the landscape. You give yourself to that and work around the bother.
To follow-up from three hours ago, it is still snowing and all the twigs and limbs are coated with thick fluffy sleeves of snow. I trudged out and dusted some poppy seeds on the snow, a sort of folk ritual to plant them, but also to evoke the coming of spring, I guess. I think we're looking at four or five inches so far, and maybe more before it's done, which for here is a blizzard. The mail made it earlier, and I made it out there to carry it in, including a Valentine present for my wife which I slid behind a closet door. Now it gets cold, and maybe Friday we'll see a little melting.
Hell, it didn’t snow at all here, it was just really, really cold and the city still went on lock down. I find it funny when a whole city shuts down because it got cold.
We had about 30 minutes of hard frozen sleet, followed by 15 minutes of flurries (tiny ones) and nothing that stuck, but a half day of spotty ice.
Still, the streets were barren. We take our 100+ continuous days of 100+ temperatures in stride, but don't drop an ice cube on the ground....

I just added pipes to a long standing cigar hobby so while my pipe tobacco stash currently could only get me through a month or so I have about a five or six year supply of cigars. Fortunately my wife understands so she didn't even blink when I brought home another dozen jars.
