Chicago is preparing for a lot of snow. It seems kids are the only ones who benefit since they get a "snow day" out of it. Even libraries are closing early and shutting down for the entire day tomorrow.
I went to two grocery stores yesterday and found a huge line of people there trying to buy food. The parking lots were full and jammed with cars. My wife went to get gas and also had to wait in line. Are people smart to stock up, or are they just panic-stricken?
I didn't buy lots of food, I just got what we normally get. We have a lot of food in the freezer anyway, so we are in good shape (so to speak.) But if a little snow is enough to throw people into a rush to buy stuff, what would they do if something even greater were to befall the area? I can only imagine how it is when there is something like an earthquake or a typhoon or hurricane. Yikes!
We'll see how much snow we end up with. Maybe it's a ploy to get people to go out and spend.... what do you think? :)
Edit Note: The snow is coming down... we are expecting a LOT of snow during this blizzard!!!
