O M G the [online] paper today!!! TODAY alone!!!
If Wegmans closes, you know we're in trouble during storms
Weather Service warns: Storm could bring blizzard-like conditions tonight into Sunday morning
Here are the biggest snowstorms in Rochester history
Rochester area road crews ready for upcoming storm, urge care in on-street parking
New York state bans buses and tractor-trailers on Thruway, interstates during storm
Snowstorm already forces closings and cancellations in Rochester area
Andreatta: In the eye of the pre-storm hysteria
As the first major snowstorm of the year bore down on Rochester, my body was flung violently
by irrepressible forces of nature as blasts of frigid air thrashed my face. Children cried. Their
parents panicked. It was terrifying.
It was the dairy section at [Wegmans] two days before the first flake fell.
When I arrived, what looked like at least a third of the Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area
was circling the carcass of a clerk whose last earthly act was restocking the milk display.
He couldn’t have been more than 17.
Another third was clamoring for eggs. Dozens of open cartons were strewn about, abandoned
by survival-mode shoppers who, even in their haste, couldn’t suppress the impulse to check for
a cracked shell. The same people peel back a husk of corn and leave the cob on the pile in summer.
The rest were pecking at skeletally bare bread shelves, fighting over the last loaf of pumpernickel
like it was Tippi Hedren in The Birds.
Milk, eggs, bread. The holy trinity of winter storm panic-shopping. It was as if everyone in the
six-county region simultaneously thought, “I know what’ll ward off this storm. French toast!”
Entering the pre-storm supermarket vortex is one of the most dangerous excursions a person can
take. The wallop of a blizzard pales to the wallop of a lake-effect shopper in Buffalo Bills Zubaz
pants hauling 4,000 pounds of cat food and Genny Cream Ale.
...etc etc etc
Milk and bread? In Rochester, we stock up on beer, chips and shrimp as storm nears

They've already closed the turnpike to commercial vehicles in Western Pa. I think it would be a REAL hoot if this thing totally fizzles out....all those frantic people buying their milk, bread and eggs....
Good morning Precious Bear
Good morning Precious Bear
no eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH. Hubs INSISTED going out and doing errands. The roads are already
a mess. To paraphrase myself, I said "well, then have fun!". Followed by
"don't expect me to come rescue you if you end up in a ditch because I
will NOT drive in THAT stuff". Followed by "you do have your AAA card
in your wallet, right".

I'll be MORE than happy to keep the driveway clear. I'll smirk
as his car does pirouettes coming down the road. He better
not hit the mailbox post.
