'Combat shopping': Mayhem at Seattle stores as shoppers clear shelves pre-snow storm

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Seattle got excited about the snow storm that's expected to hit tomorrow.

Really excited.

Grocery stores around town saw their shelves cleared of staples like eggs, milk and more as Seattleites stocked up against the possibility of being snowed in for a weekend or longer.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning Thursday with 4 to 6 inches expected in the region starting Friday afternoon. Up to a foot could fall in local areas around Western Washington. And another storm could follow on Monday.

Warnings from officials sounded dire.

"Seriously. Today is the day before the storm. Stock up. If you don't use it, save it," wrote the Washington Emergency Management on Twitter.

3. This is when all the cooked foods in the big chest freezer become important.

Even a loss of power won't be a problem..the outside temps are colder than the freezer.

5. Must be time to get the news camera's to the bottom of Queen Ann hill.
