How are you going to deal with the epic winter storm that is supposed to spread across 30-40 States starting tomorrow? I imagine too many will see a large impact on sales? They figure 235 million will be affected by it. We are supposed to get our dose of it, In Ontario on Sunday. Only 8 ins. here. However, MANY days of windchill making it feel before -3F during the day & -14F at night.

I'm going to keep selling. Nothing will change. I figure buyers will be cooped up, flush with Christmas money and tax refunds with nothing to do but shop online. I can still get to the post office a couple miles away.

No storms in sight, so the chaos continues like normal. (j/k!)
I do sincerely hope everyone stays safe and warm!

I am going to deal with it by shipping any orders that I receive within my handling time. And if people are at home because they can't go to work, I might even see a bump in sales.

It’s a natural occurrence called Winter and some years it snows more or less.
No big deal. Have enough warm clothes and boots.👢
Remember in my long life having lots of fun in the snow.

Of course it's no big deal to some. It depends on where you live. Do you need to drive? Do you lose electricity often? I'm guessing not. If I was within walking distance of the things I need like medical care, food or something as simple as mail service, I might not be too concerned either. Glad you can enjoy the snow, but no need to make light of others.

Gee fernwood,
I had absolutely no idea that my little post was making light of others.
Was not my intention at all!

Yeah, I probably should have said no need to make light of of the situation rather than others. I have warm clothes and boots too, but sure don't want to wear them walking miles through the snow to the store.

I had to extend my handling time to 3 days because of a non scanning sub so good until Wednesday. Rural with big hills here and the new PO vans don't do snow. Suppose to get 12" here in MO, so probably won't have mail until Wednesday at the earliest but if necessary I can run up and get it scanned at PO. My biggest worry is the major back up this storm will cause in the aftermath.

I looked up your home town.
Kinda cool what I found pictured.
