Hi, just leave and work now. Sorry, it's a bit loud. Um, basically, so I was thinking we could get Macies tonight. Had a big Mac on my mind all day and delivery fee on the app is now from 99P. So you win? Of course you are. Ah, love you. Bye. Exclusively on the McDonald's app. 18 plus service fee and small order fee may apply, but it's replacing restaurants. Serving times and teas and Cs apply. At Accardo, you'll save 25% on your first shop and get free delivery. Which means if you were to buy a four cheese pizza, you'd basically be getting one of the cheeses for free. Save and splurge at Okado, the online supermarket. Geographical and other restrictions. Minimum spend £60 and charges apply. New customers only maximum saving 20 pounds terms at

Arcado.com. Right now, half

of the country, my half, is watching

a winter storm crawling towards

us in real time. Phones

are buzzing with alerts. Maps are

lighting up in these like angry shades of

red and white and purple

and various colors and grocery stores are filled with people grabbing bread and white and purple and various colors.

And grocery stores are filled with people grabbing bread and milk and batteries.

Because like apparently we're going to make a milk sandwich.

I don't know.

And whatever else feels comforting when a forecast uses words like historic and dangerous. And we may not know exactly how bad this storm is going to be there calling for like 18 inches of snow where I am, which actually I have to say is kind of cute because I used to live in the mountains above Los Angeles where it didn't really count as a storm unless you got two feet, but I live on the East Coast now where you don't get monster storms like that. So, you know, it's a big deal. There's some things that we do know about it. We're going to know, like, the timing and how much of snow is going to drop and how long it's going to stay. That kind of certainty, though, would have been unimaginable in Tudor England. The Tudors lived with winter, the way you live with an unpredictable animal. You know it's going to arrive, you know it's going to be

dangerous, but you have zero warning when it's going to turn from merely cold into something

that's actually truly threatening. There weren't any forecasts. There weren't storm tracker,

News 8's global storm tracker predictor, anything like that.

There wasn't like the interactive radar.

No sense of if a snowfall would last for a night or lock you indoors for weeks.

And that difference really matters.

Because in the Tudor world, a winter storm wasn't just an inconvenience.

It could be quite deadly.

Food moved slowly even in good weather.
