I stopped by Stop & Shop 2 hours ago to pick up some basics - milk, eggs, meat... I felt like such a cad going out with the threat of this blizzard. I walked through the store self concious of "buying before the storm".The lot at the store was definitely a lot more full then it has been when I've gone shopping on weekdays while working at home. I was hesitant to move my car out of the lot at the end of the street when I left for the store. The old folks home lets us park there during snow emergencies but as of now the street has been plowed and there's no indication that I couldn't have gone to the office let alone park in the street.

Luckily I have a job where I can work at home with little problems.

The Mayor of Boston said for everyone to be vigilant and to stay at home if they can. I'm pretty pissed at the poor predicting right now - this morning it was going to start at noon. A few hours ago it was 3pm. Now they're saying the brunt will start tonight through tomorrow morning. More as it happens.
