Why do people freak out and go panic shopping over a big snowstorm especially in metropolitan and suburban areas? At most the stores close down for maybe a day or two. Sheeeesh Louise.
Many people in metropolitan areas aren’t exactly ‘preppers’. In addition, the ‘hysteria’ - warranted or not - means that the shelves will be cleared pretty quickly; you want to get there first and before the long lines ;-)
Exactly.
My questions to all you who just HAVE to go to the store, because of a blizzard (much less random snow):
-do you have basically empty cupboards and refrigerators? Is that your normal state?
-do you really need to fill up the nooks and crannies in storage for what is for most of us, nothing much worse than 2 days unable to get out?
I mean, come on!
