I went to the grocery store yesterday, too. The checkout lines were longer than I've ever seen them. People have been cooped up all week due to the frigid temperatures and snow and I think they were glad they could finally be out and about. My car is covered in nasty grit, dirt, and salt and I wanted to run it through the car wash yesterday but there must have been 15 cars in line which was just way too long for me. I'll try later on in the week.
