New York is always getting feet of snow. I remember last year, in one storm, where they got eight feet of snow. In a couple of days, it was all gone.
i live on staten island in new york.
they’re complaining about droughts so this should help.
It’s December and Buffalo always gets a lot of snow.
I live in New York.
One day, about two or three years ago, driving on my way home, I decided to stop by at my local supermarket to buy just a few items for the house, such as a couple loaves of bread.
When I got into the parking lot, the lot was packed. I have never seen it filled up like that before. And it was a weekday afternoon. Normally the parking lot gets filled up on a Saturday or Sunday. Not a weekday. It took me a little bit of driving around the parking lot before I managed to find a vacant spot.
After parking, I then looked for a shopping cart outside the store. Not a one was available. So, I go into the store without a shopping cart, hoping I can find a basket inside. As I enter the store, it was packed beyond belief. I’ve never seen it so filled up with so many people before or since. The store had as many cash registers opened as they possibly could and each line for each register was like a mile long. I’m thinking, “what’s going on here?”
Anyways, I proceed to try to do my shopping. And many of the shelves are almost empty. I went to the bread aisle to grab a couple of loaves as planned. But no full loaves were there. The only loaf of bread I could get was a lone small, half sized loaf of wonder bread. I got the few items I meant to buy and then chose a checkout line to stand in. It took over 40 minutes before it was my turn to check out and pay for my items.
While waiting on line, I overheard a few of the other shoppers muttering something about a snowstorm coming. Then it dawned on me why the supermarket was packed. I hadn’t been paying any attention to the news or the weather, so up until then I was unaware that we were expecting a huge snowstorm. I had hoped I had enough food at home to ride it out.
After getting home from the supermarket, I promptly checked on the news to see any weather reports. Indeed, a big snow storm was expected the very next day.
Next morning came and it was only a light dusting of snow. Not even a quarter of an inch. And then by the afternoon it had mostly melted away!
