Snow People
My dad went out for groceries this morning, only because we didn’t have any, not because of the snow. The roads were really bad on the way back (even in 4-wheel drive), he said, so I’m staying home from work, and hopefully gonna VPN in so I can work from home.
He said that the grocery store was empty as far as content goes though. The manager said they were mobbed with people yesterday coming in to buy everything.
We were discussing it, and we really don’t understand people like this. Do people not have enough toilet paper and milk to survive 1 day? Because that’s the most it takes before the roads are cleared by the salt trucks.
Why do people panic so much when it snows? I’m all about being prepared, but going out and buying so many supplies when you’re only going to be stuck in your house for a few hours is a bit ridiculous. I suppose this is the type of thing that can be expected if there’s ever some sort of natural disaster or biological warfare. I’m confident and my father’s and my abilities to survive without going into panic mode.
Eventually I would like to establish a nice set of preparedness inventory, but those take time to build up and keep track of.

People sure do act strange sometimes! I agree, hoarding food and supplies is ridiculous!
