At the "eggs"  there were none.  One poor woman stood there in disbelief. I said to her, I hope you didn't have anything that needed to be made or baked today.  You could see her mind was just racing as to where she'd have to go next to find some eggs. It was so busy for such an early hour then too.  We weren't surprised.  There were just a few things we picked up.  To be expected no doubt.  SW MI. Lake Effect snows are due.

I've been tracking outside temps since I got up.

3:22 a.m.  9 degrees

5:00 a.m. 5 degrees  12 mph winds

6:05 a.m. 4 degrees 8 mph winds 

6:10 a.m. 3 degrees. 3 mph winds.

 OK this can stop anytime!!

I'm going to keep checking as long as the power holds out. 

Stay in, warm and safe if you can. To those there in case we have emergencies, thank you for your dedication to our well-being.

that's my area, too. Most stores, resturants, etc. are closed, even Amazon! Glad i bought most of my groceries, early in the week.

stay safe!

I was at my local Sam's Club last Tuesday ......no eggs

[Justholdingon]

I bought eggs earlier in the week and I was shocked to see they were $5 a dozen! I've never in my life seen the price so high.

[gidgetgh]

I bought 6 eggs last week.  They were $3.49. I never buy eggs so I remembered the price. I just need two for a casserole recipe. I went ahead and bought them when I saw them.

[Another new name Sue]

I got eggs at Trader Joe's a week ago.

No organic milk at my chain grocery store, just their own brand which I don't like. I'll go somewhere else today.

My state killed another 1million chickens in the last month due to bird flu. The price of eggs is over the top!

I ordered groceries online and ended up cancelling. Too many drivers called in so they couldn't deliver and I wasn't going out yesterday.

It's currently -9 degrees and chill is -42. Our high today is -8 before wind chill.

Another "perfect storm." Holiday baking + Winter Storm + Bird Flu = Egg Shortage.

I hope the bird flu disappears and does not linger into 2023. It has been devastating for the poultry industry.

Those temperatures sound brutal.  I've never been to Michigan -- and I'm sure it's a lovely place -- but I don't know how people survive those winters!
