I don’t know if it is a regional thing, but around here, when there is a hint of snow in the forecast, everyone runs to the grocery store to buy up all the milk, eggs and bread. For some reason a snowstorm must make everyone crave french toast. There is snow predicted here Friday afternoon and Saturday, and the weather reporters must be desperate for some news because they are hyping it up and urging everyone to stock up. Predictions range from 3 inches to over a foot. I am assuming it will be on the smaller side after all of the hysterics going on.
With a full freezer and plenty of things in the pantry, I’m not worried about running out of food if we are snowbound for a day, but just to be on the safe side, I did make a quick trip to pick up a skein of yarn. It is silly, really. I have yarn in the house, and plenty of fabric, and, if I have to admit it, a 6-foot shelf of other assorted craft supplies. For whatever reason, I like to have a snowstorm project and even though I am working on two other WiPs already, I just needed that one more skein. It’s a brand I have not tried before called
‘Big Twist’, but it was the color I needed so I’m going to give it a try.
I may be alone in this need to stock up on craft supplies because the store was pretty empty, but the parking lot of the grocery store I passed was full of cars.

That happens around here too. Nothing wrong with more yarn
I like the way you think!
Ha! That is so funny. I’m going to have to remember that. Sounds like a perfect excuse to add more to the stash. Luckily, we won’t be getting any snow here. I swear Albany is in a bubble. We haven’t gotten more than a couple inches here all winter.
We’ve only had one small snowfall here so far, maybe 1/2 inch. It’s been an odd winter.
Crazy this need to stock up! Food that is not yarn which is entirely understandable!
It is very important to always have a full stock of yarn. 🙂
Our grocery store is always busy before the first snow of the season. It is funny. I love the idea of a snowstorm project 🙂
It started for me years ago when i was actually able to start and complete a baby quilt during one 20 inch snowfall. We don’t get big storms every winter though.
SNOW DAY! I love the idea that a big storm gives an excuse to hunker down and just make stuff. Here in upstate NY, we’re not going to get any snow at all–weird.
I’m sure the Nor’easters hit you often enough that you can skip this one. I do like it when the storm is big enough that you don’t even have to think about trying to get out in it.
