Is Wilson going with you?View attachment 546695
Is that because you are so glad to be there?!About 8 inches in North Seattle...
Wife just got back from waiting in lines of 40+ people at the Beaverton WinCo for over an hour. And had the same issues you mentioned. Too bad she didn't go earlier, as she only needed a few essentials. Some in line had 2 and 3 full shopping carts.
You'd think the end of the world was happening. I was checking the news for inbound nukes.
Probably would have been less of a panic!
All that for what might amount to maybe a few inches. And likely just over the weekend.
Being from Chicago (and a few other places with real winters), I can tell many folks around here have never seen it REALLY snow.
Yet if there's any accumulation the whole area shuts down. Well, at least they're not driving if they're "stuck" at home.
I'm in Hillsboro, it's 11:30pm, and still not a single flake has fallen yet.

Just wait until you see how they drive in it You are in for a treat
No hate Seattle, moving soon.Is that because you are so glad to be there?!
The wife and I just got back from our weekly trip to Albertsons. We were able to get what we would during normal circumstances. The crowds were gone but the empty shelves were still there.
Took the wifey out to our local markets last night for an educational trip, as we did our shopping Thursday night.
She's never seen a supermarket after there's been a run on it, after the locust have been through. Never seen shelves that were bare. We took a walk around our local WinCo and Fred Meyer.
She was in awe of the fact that meats, produce, milk, bread, beer and snacks were pretty much wiped out at WinCo, and the lines wrapped around the store. I'd guesstimate it was nearly an hour to check out...
Fred Meyer wasn't as bad, some produce was missing, but there really wasn't bare shelves like WinCo. There were lines, but only slightly longer than usual...
I wanted her to see how people behave when there's a storm threat like the one that was hyped up over the past several days. This is people concerned about basic survival for a few days.
I told her, now there is no shortage of food, everyone knownthe shelves will be full again tomorrow. Imagine, the chaos that would result in: a) knowing this is the only food that'll be available for a longer period (think supply chain interruption) or b) economic collapse where there's just not enough money to buy food...
One reason why we keep a well stocked pantry that can sustain our family over a longer period. Only weak links for us are perishables like milk and eggs. Most other foods are stacked deep enough.
A teaching opportunity to see the reality of our society... can't imagine what a SHTF situation would really look like. Probably kinda like Venezuela...
Stay safe in this major snow we're getting...
My sister and her friends are going down to the Bob Segar thing tooWe're leaving soon headed for Tacoma (from Oly area) to see Bob Seger.
last year he canceled due to health reasons (had to have neck surgery), rescheduled & here we are....
The Michelle Obama speaking engagement at the Tacoma Dome last night was canceled so we're wondering if they will do the same for tonight.
We will not be happy if they cancel but understand if they do.

I ran chains all the way over and down to east gate almost into Belvue .I remember back in 87 or 88 when I lived in Issaquah & was working at the new air bag factory in Moses Lake.
Heading home on a Friday afternoon after a long week of working in a foot of snow pulling telco cables, the pass was a sheet of ice. I had a 1 ton utility truck with chains and I was still sliding around.
I felt bad for the passengers of all these stupid drivers that passed us doing 30 or 40 MPH, we saw them again once they were nestled in a ditch as we passed them later at a crawl....
You can't fix stupid.
