Weathering Self Storage

I know that there is a local grocery store that calls themselves, “The Stock Up Store.” With knowing this store well I feel that with the excessive snowfall that we received here in Columbia, Missouri that more than this store used this phrase, perhaps even in self storage. I was homebound from the snow but once I was able to be mobile again I decided to go and stock up on some necessary things. This included personal hygiene items, toiletries, canned goods and other items for lasting and warm meals such as chili and pasta. I figured that if I was ever to be homebound again then I would be prepared unlike I was a few days ago. I found myself even inquiring about self storage for my vehicle. As previously mentioned, I have a double car garage at my residence but that can not protect my vehicle from the extreme snowfall or cold weather (that can crack windshields if too cold) while I am at work. With all the research and planning that I did I was wondering if the self storage industry was affected in a positive way by this snowfall or did it hinder the sales of self storage industry. Either way I would like to advise everyone reading this self storage blog to become a “stock up store” and be prepared in every way possible as you never know what is coming or to what extent it is coming.
