Has it ever snowed or rained during your BF shopping?

Its done both over the years. I'd rather deal with rain though than snow. Last year it got a bit nasty. Slick roads and icy cold conditions. Didn't stop me though. Wore scarf/mittens and heated up the car and headed out. lol

Oh yeah... Three years ago it was raining and I stood in the rain with my sis and mom in front of Toys R Us. The icing on the cake? I was sick and throwing up. lol

 

It was still very much worth it! :)

Last year I wouldn't have gone if I was driving. It snowed that early moring with a freezing rain mix. It was cold and the wind was blowing waiting in that Wal-mart line. The weather already is below our average this year.

Yep, that's why I went to Walmart so early last year, the snow started coming at about 11:30, and was still going at 12:30, so I decided to head into town(I'm 20 minutes out of town)

 

If I'd waited until the time I was going to leave(4am)it would've taken me forever to get into town.

Kelly I was just going to post our Toys R Us story! Yeah it's worth standing in the rain on BF for good deals, I'm not really willing to stand outside in the cold and rain for much else.

Here in Louisiana it's rained 1 year so bad that it was flooding. I didn't want to go but my wife did. I hated every second of it. There wasn't even anything to go out for. Wouldn't you know it, no sooner than the sales were over the rain stopped. That's was the worst time I had, plus I got sick after all of it and didn't get well until after Christmas. I won't go out again in rain like that.

 

It's only been threats of rain, but nothing happening since then. Last year it was forecast for rain but the clouds broke when the sun came up. I got a 28" HD TV for $350. That was worth the effort of going out.

I know that it has never snowed on BF and I don't remember ever having rain either. It's usually really nice weather in AR at the end of Nov. We'll start out the day in coats and end up in t-shirts.

No, it hasn't. But I keep a HUGE brand new plastic tarp in the car, just for this reason. It's large enough to cover over me sitting in my chair, on all sides down to the ground.

 

I usually go to CC or Staples first. Both stores have overhangs near the front door. So, if I get there early enough the over hang and tarp should handle the problem if it is raining.

Oh yeah I have had both and also 80 degree weather you can never tell in Upstate NY what you are going to get.

I was going to say the same thing . . . except if you're betting, the money is on "snow" ;)

Well I'm in the Pacific Northwest so BF is right in the rainy season. I don't remember a BF without rain sometime during the day. Doesn't bother me though and forget the umbrella just a raincoat here. We only get snow maybe once or twice doesn't get that cold here.

I live in Western NY, it is quite common for it to have just finished snowing or in the middle of. Not for nothing but I will take a snowy night any day over a -12 degree night which is what we had last year
