Colorado Residents Stock Up On Grocery Items Ahead Of Massive Snowstorm
(CBS4) - The race to stock up on food and other supplies before the big snowstorm in Colorado this weekend is on! On Thursday CBS4 interviewed shoppers who were finding some empty shelves at some of the bigger chain grocery stores.
Officials are advising residents to get what is needed now in an effort to avoid have anyone go out on the roads unnecessarily when the storm hits.

Veage said she has seen fewer and fewer amounts of certain food as the week has wore on.
"I mean, who is buying all of the onions?" she said.
Other shoppers said they've been stocked up for a big snowstorm all winter long, so there weren't a lot of major items that they needed.
