One year the weather was supposed to be bad, and I live about 50 miles from a city, so I rented a motel room to be able to go shopping early the next day. The weather report was right, and everything was iced over. Still, I went out, being careful. Because of the terrible weather, not many people went out until about ten. Only a few of us brave souls had the stores practically to ourselves. It was probably the best Black Friday I've been shopping. Everyone was friendly, and there was a party atmosphere.
