Where Have all the Snow Blowers Gone? Long Time Passing...

I would like to know where all the snow blowers have gone and all the snow shovels and generators and food.

According to the news, there is a big winter storm headed towards the Northeast and it is supposed to stop that area in its tracks. This is the second such storm so far in the past two months. When the first storm hit, the news showed people heading for the stores to buy food, snow shovels, snow plows,generators, and other related items. This storm is going to hit the same area.

What I would like to know is, where did all the snow blowers, snow shovels and other related items go? The last time, there was a rush on these items. Panicked people running out and grabbing up as much stuff as they could before the storm hit. The same thing is happening now. Why do they need buy more? Did they throw the stuff they bought last time out? Did their snow blowers break already? What then?

The same thing will happen during hurricane season. In the face of an approaching hurricane, people will rush out to buy generators, flashlights, candles, and all sorts of other items they deem necessary. Sometimes same area is hit with a hurricane more than once in a season, and there on the news are people rushing out again.

What did they do with the generators that they bought last season or even for the last hurricane a month or two before? Generators are durable goods and should last for years, and they are expensive. Anyone out there know the answer?

This is One Man's Question
