Feb. 24th, 2007 02:37 pmI ran some errands today so as to get them done between the snow.
At Woodmans I overheard one of the staff telling someone that the "plague of locusts" thing happened yesterday - the checkouts were 20-25 people deep, they did more than 50% more sales than usual, and they had to restock nearly everything overnight.
Now, on the MadisonWI and UW_Madison groups there's a guy saying he heard that Metro was going to shut down at 6pm tonight because of the blizzard warning. I haven't seen anything about this on Metro's site or on the City's news feed, but in any case, I'm glad I'm not limited by the bus schedules.
I can't remember when Metro shut down last. Since the UW shuts down about as often (Metro closing is one of the factors in the decision for shutting down campus), it's probably been a while.
