I would keep a few on hand just in case, 24hr before a storm HD/ supply houses start to run short the day after its non existent. You never know when youll have that storm with the weather guy claiming a few flurries and it turns into the storm of the decade.

I blame the news. They are looking for any story that can get them ratings. Everyone cares about the weather, and more people will tune in if there is a drastic weather occurrence they can talk about.

We get "Winter Storm Warnings" for 2-4" of snow now. When I was a kid, that was considered flurries.

:laughing: So true. But today you have people that manage to get themselves screwed over with an inch of snow.
