What's sad is that those shelves have never been that organized.

I can't remember and weather event here that has actually cleared the shelves, the stores have gotten busy at times but nothing like that. I guess we have enough rhubarb caned in our basements to last us the winter.

Supermarket Shooting: 2 Injured, Suspect in Custody

http://www.webpronews.com/supermarket-shooting-2-injured-suspect-in-custody-2014-02

A supermarket shooting in an Atlanta, Georgia Kroger left two women with non-life threatening injuries, one shot in the leg and the other in her torso. The shooting happened Monday as a crowd of people hurried to stock up before a predicted winter storm, according to Fox News.

Police spokesman Greg Vaughn said, “The scene is a little chaotic. You can probably imagine with everybody stocking up on bread and milk.”

Many customer who were in the store at the time of the shooting reported hiding in freezers until the store was cleared and a male suspect was apprehended, according to Reuters. It is not apparent whether the people involved even knew each other, but police interviewed witnesses and the investigation is ongoing.

“This Kroger is actually pretty busy anyway, and you’re looking at noontime, and then they had extra customers in here stocking up for our snowstorm,” Vaughn said.

Apparently, there was an argument that prompted the shooting, but no details of that argument have been given.

The store has been evacuated, and that particular Kroger will open at a later date. Police say that the shooting was an isolated incident and they believe that no one is in danger anymore.

People were not expecting the shooting as they were preparing for the storm. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal had already declared a state of emergency for nearly a third of the state, as schools went ahead and canceled classes and workers were told to stay home.

Those areas of Georgia are shuttering themselves in, as they definitely don’t want a replay of last month’s ice disaster where children were stuck on buses for hours and in schools, some overnight and some were stuck on major roadways for hours before many decided to get out and walk home amid the freezing chaos.

I spend the weekend in Denver. At 60 degrees, with no snow, it was bliss. Everyone was wandering around town in t-shirts.

Now I'm home, and they're forecasting another 6-7" of snow for tomorrow. For some reason, I'm not even mad.. At least I didn't have to drive through it.

50 yesterday, 40 today and 50 tomorrow. Snows a meltin'. At least enough to defrost the cars and make the driveway nice n' clean.

I was dodging chunks of half frozen snow/ice that were falling off of cars all day yesterday. It's dangerous out there. :)

Got another 8-10 inches of very wet snow last night. It is beautiful, but very heavy on the trees. - It looks like I lost a big part of one of my larger Boxelders.

One of the worst I have seen in a while, rain, then 3 to 4 inches of heavy wet snow, followed by 5 inches of fluffy white stuff, followed by 40+ mph winds.
Drove the boss to work it was plain nasty
