I just came in from appointments and you can’t even get in to gas station here. When I finally got in one, after a long wait....there was a tiny sign over the credit card slot that said: *NO GAS*.

That was the big mistake I made last year, I forgot to fill-up. We were without power for 2 weeks and I had to go cross-state to get fuel.

I think people are hitting the panic button with this one. Grocery store wasn’t too crowded....but the gas lines were something else!

LOL Snowpocalypse! Stayin’ off the roof, I am. You should too! Be safe!

The roof on this house is much steeper and higher. No chance of snow build-up like the other one.

I guess people are gun shy about the weather after Sandy.

Good on them.

What I’ve noticed in the weather forecasting department, is that the further out they are talking about a storm that’s forming, the worse they’re expecting it to be and the more certain they are of it.

THAT’S when to stock up, days before. At the worst, it doesn’t hit or is not as bad as they expected and you’re still OK cause you can use the stuff anyway. It’s hard to lose that way.

Course, living in NY all my life, I’m always prepared for winter. It’s foolish to not be and to not watch the weather.

Yeah the entire state of Conn. has been moved to a blizzard warning. I went out ~1pm to get a few last minute items and the stores were looking packed. My bank’s ATM had no money.

Hunker down, I’m hoping they will be wrong.
