My sister and I went by Kroger tonight and while walking through the store it seemed that there were isle after isle of shoppers. For a second we couldn’t understand why there were so many people there shopping at 3 in the afternoon, and then it hit us… there’s a winter storm threat for our area!
It amazes me to this day how people stock up so much when there’s a threat of an incoming storm, but I guess having lived through the Ice Storm of 2009 where most folks in the region was without power for up to two weeks or more, it’s a little more understandable.
We weren’t two of the storm shoppers however! We just stopped by to pick up a few things, or perhaps a few more things after we realized the weather was moving in.
Being in the military for 24 years and living everywhere from Norway to Alaska it just doesn’t seem to bother me as much as it does most folks I guess. Anyway, it provided my picture for the day.
