I was at harbor freight at parham and broad today and they had a bunch but were going quick. A bunch of people from Amelia were there to buy and said they would be without power for 2 weeks.

Thanks I suspect at this point we won’t really know what’s in the bag of goodies or how much of each type until it falls. I know it def felt cold out there for full sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I find it ironic the amount of banter or hang up about Short Pump in the main thread but if those of us from Short Pump were to comment we would be told to move it to banter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was about to say the same thing.. Guess it's a running joke where the cut off line just happens to be for decent measurable snow.. Its funny how some people take weather so personal ..(like any of us can control it.
