The weather wizards here in the Northeast US have been positively giddy as this storm approaches with the kind of over-the-top, non-stop reportage that they always do about such weather events. Unless you live in a cave it seems it would be impossible not to have known about it's coming for days.
So why do so many people wait until the day before or even the morning OF the storm to line up for gasoline, buy snow shovels, flashlights, batteries, basic food supplies, etc. etc.?? And this is not all that unusual as one sees this all the time.
I guess I'm a fine one to talk as I've been known to procrastinate more than most, but I'm apt to overcompensate when there's a predictable chance my power will go out!
