It has certainly been amusing the amount of hype for this storm. Two days ago, before if even started, there were headlines calling it a "Historical Storm" - um, doe snot something have to take place before it becomes history?
Now there is talk of "Top 5 storms" and some folks are actually saying that is is the year's first big storm, backing down from the hype a tad. The snow started lightly about an hour ago, bit the states are already instituting travel bans - no one is allowed on the roads starting at midnight tonight except for essential personnel. And it is 9 p.m. for Connecticut. The Market Basket near us, at least, was prepared - every register was open, baggers at every one, people were restocking shelves, and I didn't even have to go down the bread aisle - I have some already, there was plenty of milk, water, eggs, etc. I already had milk, too, so my cart was not nearly the "French Toast emergency" typical cart!
The wild birds are busily eating up, and I did buy extra bird seed, and was happy that that was a shelf that was looking more empty than usual!
It is currently snowing lightly, with tiny flakes!
