I was 7 for the blizzard of 1978. Lived in Andover, MA. We were out of power for a week and it too 5 days to get plowed out of our cul-de-sac. I thought it was great! A fun adventure. Then I became a parent and started to worry about what I would do if it happened. Thankfully, I moved to RI and never really had to worry over the past 30 years 😄.

Aldo, we didn't have the technology to forecast that we do today so we always have some time before the storm hits. Plenty of time to stock up on bread and milk before the big rush.

Milk and bread have been acquired. I can make all the French toast if we have no power. I'm going to try to not drink all my beer tonight.

Just a hypothesis, but maybe because stormy weather makes people want to cook soup? Seriously! Lots of soups have kale in them!

That’s like when the weather started getting cooler this fall I went to try and get large shells for stuffed shells and they were sold out EVERYWHERE

Is there a more rational reason possibly? Like for example you are just getting all the people who would normally do their grocery shopping on Tuesday but because there’s a storm coming Tuesday they are just going on Monday instead? So you have two days worth of grocery shoppers all piling in at the same time? Idk I guess I don’t think people are that stupid and there’s usually a logical reason for things. Could be wrong though
