People across the Chicago area are trying to get things checked off their Christmas shopping list just 24 hours before a winter storm is expected to hit the Midwest.
“Oh my God so it’s a little crazy in there,” said Christine Allen. “There’s no grocery carts, the shelves are getting a little empty, you know.”
Allen went to the Jewel-Osco on the Near West Side picking up some last minute items for her Christmas dinner, and said she is stocking up just in case.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters. “I don’t drive well in the snow because I’m not from here so I’m not ready for these kind of things,” said Allen.
“I just don’t want to have anything I need tomorrow or when my family shows up Saturday and the stores get empty really fast when they said the snow is coming.” The parking lot to the grocery store was packed. Video taken from inside a Wal-Mart in Cicero on Wednesday morning showed long lines at checkout. Chicagoans said they’re ready to take on the winter storm.
