I bet you can make a lot of people mad online by adding "Capitalism Has Failed" in impact font to every picture of bare shelves and long lines this storm is generating.

I'm working my barback shift at Jake's on 4th in Olympia and it is a fuckin ghost town out there. As a recent transplant from Colorado/South Cali the west slope is not prepared for drat snow and this poo poo is as wet and slippery as I've ever seen. Also going to Freddie's earlier was hilarious at the level of visibly panicked white suburbanites buying prepper levels of food. After getting some propane I went to Groce Out and Jay's Farm Stand, the difference was ridiculous. P much everything was in decent stock and nobody looked visibly freaked out. Tumwater is loving weird.

Oh poo poo, is Jake's the place with the hot dog stand you can order from off the sidewalk? I used to work in Oly and that was one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch. Cream cheese and jalapenos. If I'm misremembering I blame legal weed.

We seem to be managing pretty well for the catastrophe of 3 to 6 inches of snow on a weekend.

Losing power is a very real fear and possibility and I don't begrudge anyone preparing as much as they can for that situation. Like if you have small kids, losing power in the middle of the winter is stressful as gently caress.

"Sorry babe but we all need down sleeping bags in case the power goes out and we can't run the furnace. We don't want the kids to freeze! Oh, this outdoor burner set will keep us cooking. Gee I better buy a water filter in case the big one hits and we don't have access to clean water anymore. You don't want our kids drinking contaminated water do you?

Got four inches in the NE Portland/Gresham area. I can't get my compact car to the main thoroughfares. I had to cancel an appointment in Sherwood, which apparently got zero snow and they probably think I'm lying.

I bought bread because the power is unlikely to be out for more than a few days, and sandwiches are easy to make without needing power. I just assume that's what everybody is doing...? Does that not make sense?

I bought flour, oil, and yeast so I could be as utterly insufferable as humanly possible about being able to make my own bread, right up to when a power outage renders my oven inoperable

They sent expired meat (by like a week, not just day of or something), left a few items out, and made substitutions that introduced ingredients my partner cannot consume. Definitely not bothering with that again.

I live in north seattle and I have an ungodly long uphill driveway. Just shoveled like 8 inches off it. Took 2 hours. I'm so so very glad this is a rare occurrence.

It seems like it just takes one cost cutting manager for that service to turn to absolute crap.

I haven't used the Safeway delivery in years, but isn't there an option where you can tell the grocery picker to not make substitutions if they're out of something you've ordered? But yeah there's no excuse for stuff that's expired by a week. I always used it for non-perishable stuff that wasn't likely to vary in quality anyway and for that it was mostly pretty good. Made living far from a supermarket without a car much easier back in the late 00s. Nowadays I bike to nearby stores and supplement with online orders for big/heavy stuff. I love the snow but it messes up my grocery routine...

North end of Tualatin Valley phoning in. It's cold and windy here, but the roads are bare. Feel free to raid our grocery stores if you can get to them; I'm settled in for the weekend.

According to Cliff Mass(who was pretty much spot on about this storm), Seattle gets another inch or two on Sunday night and then gets nearly a foot on Tuesday.

The promise of more snow in the coming days has spooked me into buying bread. That and all the bread talk really made me want a grilled cheese sandwich.
