The rush to stock up on vital supplies has begun. A friend just posted this on Facebook:

"The crowds were already out today. Trader Joe's in Springfield was out of milk in anything but Gallon size. Store was packed at 3:30 PM. Crowds will only grow. Giant in West Springfield was out of Gallon size bottled water except Store Brand. TP was being bought by the case."

Another:

"9:53 PM EST
Just got home from the Giant on West Broad in Falls Church. Almost out of flour. Many other supplies also picked over already."

And another:

"Tonight was nuts at the Great Falls Safeway"


Better than everyone waiting until the last second. Maybe more shipments can be delivered to area groceries before the first flakes fall... three days from now.
