before this last snow fall? yeah, I could see some people being that underprepared. We haven't seen anything this extreme ever. Last Thursday we didn't have snow left, it had all melted. by Monday the snow plow wake was over my head. a lot of people thought it would be a slam and then cleared by Monday night like normal. A lot of people don't realize the logistics of removing that much snow. normally you can just plow it on the side of the road and be done. that didn't work this time, they ran out of room. Every single plow person in the entire north half of the state didn't sleep for 24 hours. so these people that figured they were good with a few days of food start to panic on day 3. even a well oil machine has it's limits. I'm sure it was a shock to people who are used to sidewalks and parking lots being shoveled every snow storm at 6 am to go days without help.
