Oh, it was hilarious - people were cleaning out the grocery stores of bread, milk, beer and toilet paper like it was the end of the earth. It snowed that morning, sun came out, and it was gone by 4 pm.
I grew up in southern Alberta, Chinook country. The prevailing winds are from the west, and we would have massive blizzards one day and the next day the Chinook would come and the snow would be gone by nightfall. I don't remember EVER seeing a snowplow in those days. Some days the schools would be closed, but most likely a day later they'd be open again. But we learned to drive in the snow, and I don't think we ever panicked over supplies.
I don't mind brown Christmases at all.......grew up with them. But I surely do hate the wind, to this day. And it's gotten worse here over the last 15 or so years.

It took decades to establish, has been wobbling since a few years before Covid, is now broken in many places, and will take at least ten years to repair.
This does, however, seem to have woke [] a bunch of folks into thinking maybe we need to be less dependent on factories and sources overseas, cause trucks and trains seem to still be getting around the US of A pretty easily.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

We're doing fine with the necessities. Regarding food, can't always get the exact brand we want but we survive. Some of the more non-essentials we've ordered have been delayed. Have noticed when they arrive, a lot are made in China."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
