I went to the Walmart near me this afternoon (just needed a couple of things.  Not storm related).  Zero shopping carts available. Never saw that before.  The store wasn’t that crowded though.  Weird

A few early weenie flakes, but not very organized it seems.

13-17" pre-blizzard depth-depth at the weather station is 17"...most measurements at least 15".

Back down to 31 from a high of 35.
