Blizzard Thanksgiving 2019 ?

[eddiememphis]

I tried twice to pick up couple of things at the grocery store today with no luck. Couldn't even get in the parking lot.

I needed a bell pepper for steak fajitas. I drove past three stores that were packed. The King Doops I stopped at had three green bell peppers left.

Something I noticed at 1:30 in the afternoon was the overwhelming number of old folks shopping.

I guess when the news says, "We're all gonna die!!!"
They ask, "How high?"

I may have mixed metaphors...

Haven't seen my wife or son in 2mo. and my flight back to CO for tomorrow got canceled. Guess it's a good thing bought a back up ticket for on Turkey day. Unfortunately I gotta leave Sunday to get back here then off to Georgia early Monday morning...I love traveling!

I managed to grab a snow shovel at Home Depot today while I was there for a refund (which I haven't gotten yet).

Funny thing is, unless they're imports, the old folks should be the ones who are calm and not spazzing. They've seen real blizzards. The "snowmageddons" we've seen recently are fun but no reason to panic. I just don't understand anyone who has less than a week's food in the house when living in Colorado in the winter.

100% And not just CO in the winter. Shit can go down anywhere at any time.

Most of "Those people" live in Grand Junction, Colorado's bastard child with Utah. *shakes head*then again, the worst snowmaggeddon they ever saw was like a foot. Probably all the way back in the 60's.

We've got about 7 inches here on the Peak-to-Peak, the last few have been light and fluffy.

I sure like the sound of the state snow plows driving by. I'll plow and get out the snowthrower over the next couple days. We hauled about 4 cords of firewood logs in the past week. Needed to get it in before the snow piles up. Cut and split some today. Before long I'll be good for two years of heating.

Mrs. Hummer gets to stay home and paint tomorrow. The DA, courts and all county offices are closed tomorrow due to the weather. Once in a while the flatlanders have to deal with what we experience on a regular basis.

I go to the self checkout lanes when the regular checkout lanes are miles deep. But I live behind a grocery store, so I can go often, if required.

Lots of empty shelves, etc. People worried that they can't get their Thanksgiving shopping in, etc.

My King Soopers seemed to be handling the load okay. Thanks to all the King Soopers workers, because it can't be easy.
