Check in if you are on the East coast and are expected to get slammed with the snow storm.
Our area of western PA have been told to expect 8-10 inches.
My wife went to the store for one of her client today and she said it is bad when you have to shop around a holiday celebration like for Thanksgiving and it is bad when you have to shop when people are preparing to get slammed by a snowstorm. She said it was 10 times worse today. People are buying for both and shelves where bare.
My workplace has already told me to bring clothes they won't let me leave ( I work the night shift.) It may not be bad at the time I leave for home but they aren't taking the chance that I can't get back in.

I'm in Western Mass too, and that's exactly what I heard as well.
It's been windy for the better part of a week where I am, but the wind with rain forecast really scares me. Lots of shallow-root trees around my house and when there's wind AND rain, they tend to come down.
I don't get why every damn snowfall has to be hyped up to get people worked into a tizzy. For crying out loud, we have all seen and experienced snow before and will again. I grew up in the mountains of western PA and we just took big snow storms in stride and went about our lives. The snow will be gone in a day or two and everything will go back to normal. Just don't drive in the worst of it and you will be fine.
Cleaning out the supermarkets goes beyond being prepared, it's hysteria. Good grief.
