I asked Alexa when was it to start snowing, she responded 'Right now.' I looked out the window and it wasn't snowing, that's it Alexa you're lying now.
LOL, so much for technology hey Von. Ours will say it's 50, but then I go out and it's actually 40 where I'm standin
Our forecast was for 4-6 inches of snow, then they backed off to 2-3 inches...it hasn't snowed as of now. I suspect we will get none.
It's clear and 16 degrees at 7:30 pm. Tomorrow will be aoubt the same. Saturday snow starts at 7 am and concludes Sunday leaving us with 12-18 inches ofsnow
Weather here is a frosty but otherwise uneventful 20° day. Local weather bunnies, however, are now chattering 24/7 on the potential snowmagedden, bomb cyclone, nor'easter blizzard that's going to bury us all in 2 - 3 feet of snow. later today and tomorrow. Between the perils of weather and covid that us dominating the news, I predict a whole lot of people are going to do their best to empty grocery store shelves today.
We're the same way. All it takes is the prediction of a couple of inches (like is coming down right now) and all the bread, milk and eggs are gone. I always ask the cashiers where the French toast parties are, because it's the only thing you could do with all of that stuff.
We had that happen when the "pandemic" first began. I don't know if it was hoarding or supply issues. We had been debating whether to get rid of our chickens just prior to that, but they began laying just about the time the shortages began. We may replenish our flock this spring...the decision has not yet been made. We are down to only one hen laying.
Eggs seem to be in good supply here, but, of course, the prices are higher. I haven't priced hems as yet, but if we buy them locally from friends, I doubt the prices will be much higher. If we have to mail order them from out of state, I assume the demand is such that prices will be higher than the last time we did so.
Grocery store eggs here are a little over $1/dozen. Aldi (a discount store) uses them as a permanent loss leader @ 49¢/dozen. The small independent farm across the street charges $6/dozen. They were $4/dozen in 2010. I buy mine from my friend who owns a greenhouse and sells them for neighborhood folks @ $2.25/dozen. In a pinch I'll buy some from the farm across the street just to toss them some money. I'll do that before buying flavorless eggs from grocery stores. I've been spoiled.
Had appointment with cardiologist so thought I'd do my shopping si I wouldn't have to do it in stotm tomorrow. We there was plenty of food and way way more customers than I've ever seen
