Snow panic

Snow Panic...
A mere two weeks ago we had a forecast of 1-3 inches. No big deal, right? We got just under 10 inches, had sleet and freezing rain throughout, and everything was sticking to power lines, trees, and everything.  The weight pulled down trees and power lines. Outages were widespread and upwards of 80% of the homes in 23 counties were without power for 4-6 days in freezing temperatures. Daytime highs in the 30s... Night time lows in the teens. Everyone's was caught unaware. 

Flash forward to now. Forecast is for 10-12 inches of snow.  Wow... After the last storm people are panic buying to get ready.  There were already shortages in the stores... Now made worse by the panic.  

Pictures are indeed worth 1000 words. 

Milk, lunch meat, eggs, bread, meats, and soups.

Ps... all the stores are sold out of snow shovels... Go figure.
