Don't Be Anti-Social
   We know, t's hard to rally when the temperature is below freezing. But you know what else sucks? Not having friends. Whether you're inviting people over to play a drinking game during The Bachelor (everytime someone says "connection" or "butterflies" you take a sip) or going out for happy hour, it's a hell of a lot better than staying holed up through March. 

 

Focus On Sports
   Even if your knowledge of sports is based on something you read on The Onion, it's still an easy distraction and a great excuse for mid-week drinks. You have the Sixers and the Flyers making a pretty solid run and, soon enough, March Madness will return so you can fill out a bracket and effortlessly beat all of your co-workers in the office pool. 

 

Plan Things To Look Forward To
  Even if you're headed to the (very cold) shore for the weekend, it's the change of scenery that will pull you out of a mid-winter slump. Book a night at The Chelsea or the Borgata--if you stick to the in-house restaurants (or in Borgata's case, the casino) you'll completely forget how terrible it is outside.

 

Do Your Homework
   Feign terror at the sight of our latest wintry mix and trade in your laptop for a pair of waterproof boots and some much-needed snow beers--all within walking distance. Whether you're in Old City (Race Street Cafe is a good one) or in Graduate Hospital (in that case, Ten Stone) there are spots that seem to be specifically made for a pre-snow day night of imbibing. Find them here.

 

Stop Trying To Drive
   Last year, when the Eagles played the Vikings after Christmas, the city had to actually reschedule the game so we wouldn't have 100,000 intoxicated fans trying to drive to the stadium in the middle of a record-breaking snow storm. This speaks volumes for our judgement as a whole--stop stressing everyone out, stay home.

 

Chill Out
   For those of us who actually need to go grocery shopping on a Tuesday night before the ultra-snow-thunder-apocalypse, how about we all chill out a little bit? You’re not going to starve to death during the twelve hours in which you refuse to dig out your car and if you feel hunger pains, just tighten your belt a little bit.
