Finally, a Nor'easter!

when they predict even like 2" of snow here everyone rushes to the grocery store and stocks up like a blizzard is coming. pathetic.

Tell me about it. I had to go to Costco yesterday for a couple of things we were out of and by the time I got there - the entire place was stripped. As was the supermarket I went to afterwards.

Anyone would think there was going to be nuclear winter or something... I don't get it... given that it snows here every year you'd think people would be accustomed to it - enough at least that they take it in their stride without mindless hysteria.

Well, when it rained a lot last April (remember?), we were stranded at home for 4 days in a row. I'm glad we hoarded right before that storm. Sometimes, it comes in handy.

True. But people seem to go way crazy when there's no need - like buying 25lbs of frozen chicken, 16 loaves of bread or 4 gallons of milk.
