   We ended up with about 3.5 inches (measured on our back deck). Other   
   areas got a lot more, including 17" down in Swansboro on the coast where   
   we used to live. We were living there when they got 18", first week end   
   Of March, 1980--saw people using all sorts of improvised "shovels" to   
   clear sidewalks, paths to the door, etc.   
      
    MP> I still wouldn't want to be in the store here today! ;)   
      
   Nor would I; I needed a few things but not bread, milk, etc. The soup   
   aisle was pretty well cleaned out, same with just about all ready to eat   
   stock, especially canned goods. I got my pickles, made rouladen Monday   
   night (will have left overs tonight).   
      
      
    MP> Sounds like you are well stocked and well prepared for whatever might   
    MP> come your way. Good on you!   
      
   We try to be. Right now I'm pulling from that stock to load up the   
   camper; we're heading down to Florida soon for a ham radio event. I like   
   to load up the camper some time in advance so I have time on the last   
   few days before we take off to catch the little odds and ends that have   
   to be done before leaving. This get together includes 2 pot lucks so   
   I've got to get some stuff for a veggie/relish tray for the first one.   
   Second one I'll be doing the crock pot goulash, have all I need for that   
   on hand but have to take it out to the camper.
