Blizzard 2015 photos: NYC grocery stores cleaned out as Northeast prepares for snow storm

Grocery stores in New York City and around the Northeast are being overrun and cleaned out as customers brace for a "potentially historic" snow storm set to bury the region.

Shoppers tweeted photos from checkout lines at stores throughout the Northeast using the hashtags #blizzardof2015 and #Snowmageddon2015:

No, I’m comparing Hurricane Sandy to an event that shut NYC’s public schools for the third time in about 25 years.

I thought people responded fairly well considering the population density; crime was at a minimum (probably less than normal because people could guard their homes, since everything was shut down).

I live north of Denver suburbs. Just as in any other city, some areas will get hit with more snow while others are less. Our housing area is in a bowl down by a lake and we typically get 10 to 20 percent more snow that an area just five miles over. Add blowing snow to the snow fall and we got a lot in our housing complex.

However, you are correct it was Dec 2006 not early 2007 like I was thinking.

The action may not be the same but the concept is and is a very useful way to break through some people’s mindset.

We just had that for breakfast Sunday. :)

I think it is for sandwiches and hot chocolate.

It’s been snowing all day here and has actually let up some since late afternoon.

So far 4-5 inches.

And addressing your first point about that storm not being called a blizzard, I would point out that the Denver papers called the 2006 storm..."A Blizzard".

Holiday Blizzard Buries State

Looks like it stopped. Lines winding around the store islands for nothing. One store had a line for people to get into the store, like FAO Schwarz at Christmas.

Scenes like this undermine my faith in humanity’s future. First, the local news hypes every snowfall into the Storm of the Century and I would have hoped that people have caught on to it now. Second, even if the storm actually is bad this time, don’t these people have at least a couple days’ worth of food stored up in their homes?

Many of these fools spend a lot of time and energy disparaging preppers. I can assure you there are very few preppers in these pictures.

I don’t want to laugh at someone’s misfortunes (usually, unless it is obama manhandling an umbrella, etc.). But I think pointing out how unprepared people are is okay.

My BIL is in NJ. Last year they had a storm and he had no cash on hand, power was out all over, bad roads so he couldn’t drive. Wife and two kids. He was saying how they were “out of food” and when he walked into town he couldn’t even buy anything because he only had a credit card (power was out).

Sad to say, but a year later with this storm, I expect to hear a similar story.

I told my wife yesterday to text him to get ready, but she said “Why? He’s not going to listen.”

With this ample warning that people received, it should have given the people who are affected by it, plenty of time to prepare.

I just sincerely hope that none of them read Free Republic and the posters who are saying ... “It’s no big deal! ... because THOSE FREEPERS are the real idiots!

My daughter lives in Red Hampshire and finally purchased a generator. What shocks me about New Hampshire is the fact that you so easily lose power, no matter what the season. For such a hearty state, it baffles my grey cells in that a puff of wind paralyses the whole state. What the hells up with that?

It sounds like deteriorating infrastructure on the electrical grid. They need to INVEST in beefing up and improving this important public infrastructure!
