“Killer” snow storm
We are experiencing a heavy snow-freezing rain today (Mar 16th, Fri). According to the forecast, it will become worse; they are saying it will be 3-6″ snow!
This will be the second “killer” snow storm in 2007. “Killer” because it really kills retail businesses.
As you might recall, we had a nasty snow-ice storm on the Valentine’s Day. Many florists were hard-hit, but the hardest hit was on gift shops and restaurants. Many restaurants here lost a HUGE business on the Valentine’s Day (50-90% cancellation rate).
They were hoping to recover some of the loss on this coming St Patrick’s Day (Mar 17th). Now another snow-ice storm! This is really bad, but hey, life goes on.
