Weather Disasters and Business

Snow was expected to hit the Mid-Ohio Valley on Saturday and in Fridays paper the warning was made known. Seeing as how the we haven't had much in the way of snow for awhile many people were thinking that they should stock up on things just in case they were snowed in. This "snow storm" prediction helped many businesses on Friday and early Saturday because people around the Mid-Ohio Valley were gearing up for the storm in case they were stuck in doors for a few days. Many businesses saw this as a good thing because they would see a boom in their business at a typically slow time since the main holidays just ended, although Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
This article also seems kind of oppisite from the post made earlier by another student.
