People get apartments they never had before or live in situations where they have to shovel when they didn't have to before. I bought a shovel nine years ago when I was renting a house. The town required that the homeowner be responsible for shoveling the sidewalk in front of the house (I was a renter but landscaping and snow removal were my responsibility per the lease), plus I had a driveway to shovel out now.
I moved down here into a condo four years ago, and I still need the shovel to dig out my car, even though the walks and parking lot are taken care of by the landscaping contractor. It is the same shovel I bought in 2006, though.
I mean, when the forecast calls for sunshine, do people run out and buy sunglasses and sunscreen?
My little Acme had more people than usual this afternoon. My pre-storm shopping consisted of making sure I had enough cans of cat food until the end of the week, but I was going to do that anyway. Oh, and I bought a carton of chocolate almond milk. I drink normal milk, too, but my vegan daughter introduced me to the almond milk world. It makes really good hot chocolate. You just have to pour it in the mug and nuke it.
went grocery shopping on Saturday before we heard about the storm. I dont even want to imagine the chaos that is going on at the stores at this moment.
Went to Shop Rite this morning ( my normal shopping day) It was a little busier than usual. The cashier said people were there waiting before they opened. I am a little surprised by this storm. First I heard about it was on Channel 2 this morning. And the snow amounts have been increasing all day.
I spend a lot of time in the Connecticut weather forum. There is a new thread about this storm there too.Really interesting stuff. This storm is just crazy.
I bought a 26" Troy Built 2 stage snowthrower from lowes on sale in early october. After last year, i swore i was never shoveling again. Saturdays 4" was a good walk through of Tuesdays Monster. My snowthrower made short work of that heavy wet snow on saturday, I cant wait for tuesday!!

Yes, snowblowers are a lot of fun the first year or so, not so much after 20 years.
