Grocery Stores Wiped out Ahead of Blizzard | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

So this weekend, they're predicting 16-24" of snow.  That's on the high side for us, but not totally unusual.  We get a snow fall like this every couple years.  So, much like everyone else, I was at the grocery store yesterday getting the staples.  "Bread, milk and toilet paper".  While I've seen this before (and possibly even discussed here) I'm amazed at how hard the grocery store had been hit and how barren he shelves were.  I even commented to one of the employees, "I can only imagine if it were a real disaster".  The meat and bread seemed the heaviest hit.  Virtually no chicken left except wings and jumbo packs of drumsticks.  No ground beef left.  This all for a snowfall that will have people home bound for 2-3 days.  The next time someone questions your decision to prep, simply ask them, "Have you ever seen a grocery store right before a blizzard?"
